For the reaction PCl5(g) + heat PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), what will happen when the volume is increased?

1 answer:

4 0

This is an aplication of Le Chatelier Principle. So, if you need further details about the theory behind the answer, search for this subject.

Here is the answer and the explanation.

You can realize that 1 mol of reactant produce 2 moles of products, which means that the trend of the reaction is to increase the volume (at constant pressure) or to increase the pressure (at constant volume). If you realease the pressure by increasing the volume, Le Chaelier principle permit you to predict a displacement of the equilibrium to the right (to the products). This is, because the equilibrium will try to restore (increase) the pressure by producing more molecules.

So, the answer is the option B. There will be a shift toward the products.

What evidence supports the law of conservation of energy?

Travka [436]

Answer:

light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy says: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed-only converted from one form of energy to another.

Of the five salts listed below, which has the highest concentration of its cation in water? assume that all salt solutions are s

Zigmanuir [339]

First of all, I need to know what these five salts are. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture. The Ksp is the solubility product constant. It follows the formula:

Ksp = [cation concentration]ᵃ[anion concentration]ᵇ
where a and b are the subscripts of the metal and nonmetal, respectively.

For the solutions ahead, let x be the concentration of the cation.

A. The formula is PbCr₂O₄.
2.8×10⁻¹³ = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 5.29×10⁻⁷ M

B. The formula is Co(OH)₂.
1.3×10⁻¹⁵ = [x][x]²
Solving for x, x = 1.09×10⁻⁵ M

C. The formula is CoS.
5×10⁻²² = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 2.24×10⁻¹¹ M

D. The formula is Cr(OH)₃.
1.6×10⁻³⁰ = [x][x]³
Solving for x, x = 3.56×10⁻⁶ M

E. The formula is Ag₂S.
6×10⁻⁵¹ = [x]²[x]
Solving for x, x = 1.82×10⁻¹⁷ M

Thus,the highest concentration is letter B, Cobalt (II) Hydroxide.

Identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of each of the following (you can refer to a periodic

Delvig [45]

You must first know that the number of protons and neutrons are same, and neutrons number may vary. Carbon 12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Sodium 23 has 12 protons , 12 electrons and and 11 neutrons. Silver 108 has 47 protons, 47 electrons and 61 electrons. Finally, Sulfur 32 has 16 protons, 16 nuetrons and 16 electrons. Basically the number of neutrons in an atom can be found by subtracting proton number from mass number

Which of the following is the displacement from point P to point W?

IRINA_888 [86]

C represents the displacement ONLY if it is the VECTOR arrow from P to W.
Usually if the arrow on the diagram has JUST a letter listing, that letter stands for the SIZE or LENGTH of the VECTOR arrow. In order to have the letter represent the VECTOR, itself, it must have a symbol of a "half arrow" placed above it.
