Answer:

Q < K for both reactions. Both are spontaneous at those concentrations of substrate and product.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reactions with their proper Gibbs free energy of reaction are:

A->B;\Delta _rG^o=-13 kJ/mol

C ->D ;\Delta _rG^o=3.5 kJ/mol

The cellular concentrations are as follows: [A] = 0.050 mM, [B] = 4.0 mM, [C] = 0.060 mM and [D] = 0.010 mM.

For each case, the reaction quotient is:

Q_1=\frac{4.0mM}{0.050mM}=80\\ Q_2=\frac{0.010mM}{0.060mM}=0.167

A typical temperature at a cell is about 30°C, in such a way, the equilibrium constants are:

K_1=exp(-\frac{-13000J/mol}{8.314J/mol*K*303.15K} )=173.8\\K_2=exp(-\frac{3500J/mol}{8.314J/mol*K*303.15K} )=0.249

Therefore, Q < K for both reactions. Both are spontaneous at those concentrations of substrate and product.

Best regards.

A solution is prepared from 4.5701 g of magnesium chloride and 43.238 g of water. The vapor pressure of water above this solutio
balandron [24]

Answer:

i = 2.483

Explanation:

The vapour pressure lowering formula is:

Pₐ = Xₐ×P⁰ₐ <em>(1)</em>

For electrolytes:

Pₐ = nH₂O / (nH₂O + inMgCl₂)×P⁰ₐ

Where:

Pₐ is vapor pressure of solution (<em>0.3624atm</em>), nH₂O are moles of water, nMgCl₂ are moles of MgCl₂, i is Van't Hoff Factor, Xₐ is mole fraction of solvent and P⁰ₐ is pressure of pure solvent (<em>0.3804atm</em>)

4.5701g of MgCl₂ are:

4.5701g ₓ (1mol / 95.211g) = 0.048000 moles

43.238g of water are:

43.238g ₓ (1mol / 18.015g) = 2.400 moles

Replacing in (1):

0.3624atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)×0.3804atm

0.3624atm / 0.3804atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.4mol / 0.9527

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol

i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol - 2.4mol

i = 0.1192mol / 0.048mol

<em>i = 2.483</em>

I hope it helps!

58. Explain why each successive ionization of an electron
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

It's because removal of electron from an atom, reduces the size of an atom.

Explanation:

When an electron is removed from an atom, it becomes an ion and in this case it will become a postive ion.

When an electron is removed from an atom, the charge balance of an atom is disturbed and positive charge increases in comparison to the negative charge. This results in increase nuclear (positive) charge which exerts greater attraction on the remaining electrons and as a result the remaining electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus and in this way the atomic size is decreased. Due to this increased nuclear attraction and reduced atomic size, it bcomes difficult to remove more electeon from the positively charged ion of reduced size. This is the reason that each successive ionization of electron requires a greater amount of energy.

The ionization energy has inverse relation with the size or radius of an atom. This also justifies the reason that why each successive ionization of an electron requires greater amount of energy.
