The correct answer is answer choice C, three. In the formula Ca3 (P O4)2, there are 3 atoms of calcium (Ca), 2 atoms of phosphorus (P), and 8 atoms of oxygen (O). You can tell this by looking at the subscripts (or numbers, in this case, since you can't type subscripts). The subscript applies to the number directly beside it. Furthermore, if you have parentheses with a number beside it, just distribute. In this problem, we have (P O4)2.

(P O4) 2   Given
P2 O8   Distribute
We now have 2 atoms of phosphorus and 8 atoms of oxygen. 

This problem has decided to be nice and just ask for calcium, so we don't have to distribute. All you have to do for this problem is look at the subscript beside Ca, which is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

A 2.5 L flask is filled with 0.25 atm SO3, 0.20 atm SO2, and 0.40 atm O2, and allowed to reach equilibrium. Assume at the temper
Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

Reaction equation for the given chemical reaction is as follows.

      2SO_{3} \rightleftharpoons 2SO_{2} + O_{2}

Equation for reaction quotient is as follows.

         Q = \frac{P^{2}_{SO_{2}} \times P_{O_{2}}}{P^{2}_{SO_{3}}}

             = \frac{(0.20)^{2} \times 0.40}{(0.25)^{2}}

             = 0.256

As, Q > K (= 0.12)

The effect on the partial pressure of SO_{3} as equilibrium is achieved by using Q, is as follows.

  • This means that there are too much products.
  • Equilibrium will shift to the left towards reactants.
  • More SO_{3} is formed.
  • Partial pressure of SO_{3} increases.

The combustion of 1 mole of CO according to the reaction CO(g) + ½O2(g) → CO2(g) + 67.6 kcal gives off how much heat?
Tomtit [17]
When the enthalpy value is given, we can calculate how much heat is use or produces in a given equation. 

67.6 kCal ---> 67.6 kCal= 1 mol of reaction
1 mol of reaction=  1 mol of CO (based on the coefficient)

so 1 mole of CO gives us 67.6 kCal of heat.

calculation:

1 mol CO\frac{67.5 kcal}{1 mol CO} = 67.5 kcal
