Answer:

Explanation:

A reaction that is exothermic and causes a decrease in the entropy of the system cannot be a spontaneous reaction. This is not totally true because naturally For a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe (system plus surroundings) must increase. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The system entropy can decrease as long as the entropy of the surroundings increases enough to make the sum of the system and surroundings positive.

And we know that a spontaneous reaction is a reaction that occurs in a given set of conditions without intervention. Spontaneous reactions are accompanied by an increase in overall entropy or disorder. If the Gibbs Free Energy is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous, and if it is positive, then it is nonspontaneous.

Consider the following reactions and their respective equilibrium constants: NO(g)+12Br2(g)⇌NOBr(g)Kp=5.3 2NO(g)⇌N2(g)+O2(g)Kp=2

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant of the given reaction is $1.3\times 10^{-29}$

Explanation:

$NO+\frac{1}{2}Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons NOBr$ .... $(K_{p})_{1}=5.3$

$2NO\rightleftharpoons N_{2}+O_{2}$ .... $(K_{p})_{2}=2.1\times 10^{30}$

The given reaction can be written as summation of the following reaction-

$2NO+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr$

$N_{2}+O_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NO$

......................................................................................

$N_{2}+O_{2}+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr$

Equilibrium constant of this reaction is given as-

$\frac{[NOBr]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}][Br_{2}]}$

$=(\frac{[NOBr]}{[NO][Br_{2}]^{\frac{1}{2}}})^{2}(\frac{[NO]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}]})$

$=\frac{(K_{p})_{1}^{2}}{(K_{p})_{2}}$

$=\frac{(5.3)^{2}}{2.1\times 10^{30}}=1.3\times 10^{-29}$

In each reaction box, place the best reagent from the list below. draw the intermediate compound.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Reagent A: PBr₃

Reagent B: Mg in Et₂O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, your facing a problem in which a carboxylic acid is produced starting by an alcohol. More specifically, cyclopentanol must react with phosphorous tribromide in order to yield bromocyclopentane which is more likely to produce a carboxylic acid, therefore, reagent A is PBr₃.

On the other hand, by means of the production of the specified product, bromocyclopentane must react with carbon dioxide and magnesium in diethyl ether in acidic media to promote the production of the cyclopentanoic acid via the grignard reaction (substitution of the bromine by the carboxyle group), therefore, reagent B is Mg in Et₂O.

Best regards.

What is the halogen in period 5?? it has six letters

Misha Larkins [42]

Simple,

take a look at your periodic table, if you have it labeled look at the Halogen

Group, it includes: Flourine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine.

Now, a period on the periodic table is read from left to right, and goes

down the rows of the periodic table.

Go to Period 5, go all the way to the Halogens, what is there?

Iodine.

Thus, your answer.

What is smaller than one cell

mr_godi [17]

The organelles and substances inside the organelles are smaller. On a molecular level a group that are smaller are hadrons, which are the group of particles that consist of protons and neutrons. Even smaller than hadrons are leptons, which consist of neutrinos, electons, and MANY others.
