Answer:

1.274 moles

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction can be represented as follows:

$PCl_5(g)$ ⇄ $PCl_3(g)$ + $Cl_2(g)$

K = 0.060

K = $\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}$

Concentration of $PCl_5(g)$ = $\frac{numbers of moles}{volume}$

Concentration of $PCl_5(g)$ = $\frac{3.98}{10.0}$

Concentration of $PCl_5(g)$ = 0.398 moles

If we construct an ICE table for the above equation; we have:

$PCl_5(g)$ ⇄ $PCl_3(g)$ + $Cl_2(g)$

Initial 0.398 0 0

Change - x + x + x

Equilibrium (0.398 - x) x x

K = $\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}$

K = $\frac{[x][x]}{[0.398-x]}$

K = $\frac{x^2}{0.398-x}$

0.060 = $\frac{x^2}{0.398-x}$

0.06(0.398-x) = x²

0.02388 - 0.060x = x²

x² + 0.060x - 0.02388 = 0 (quadratic equation)

a = 1; b= 0.06; c= -0.02388

Using quadratic formula;

= $\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

= $\frac{-0.06+/-\sqrt{(0.06)^2-4(1)(-0.02388)} }{(2*1)}$

= $\frac{-0.060+/-\sqrt{0.0036+0.09552} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.06+/-\sqrt{0.09912} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.06+/-0.3148}{2}$

= $\frac{-0.060+0.3148}{2}$ or $\frac{-0.060-0.3148}{2}$

= $\frac{0.2548}{2}$ or $\frac{-0.3748}{2}$

= 0.1274 or -0.1874

We go by the positive value which says:

[x] = 0.1274 M

number of moles = 0.1274 × 10.0

= 1.274 moles

∴ the number of moles of Cl₂ produced at equilibrium = 1.274 moles

Now consider the reaction a+2b⇌c for which in the initial mixture qc=[c][a][b]2=387 is the reaction at equilibrium? if not, in w

Paul [167]

Solving this chemistry is a little bit hard because the question didn't give some important detailed.
So first, there are a couple problems with your question.
We will just need to know which direction will it proceed to reach equilibrium.
Your expression for Kc (and Qc ) for the reaction should be:
Kc = [C] / [A] [B]^2
You have not provided a value for Kc, so a value of Qc tells you absolutely nothing. Qc is only valuable in relation to a numerical value for Kc. If Qc = Kc, then the reaction is at equilibrium. If Q < K, the reaction will form more products to reach equilibrium, and if Q > Kc, the reaction will form more reactants.

Explain the need of the term avarage atomic mass

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The average atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of its isotopes, each multiplied by its natural abundance (the decimal associated with percent of atoms of that element that are of a given isotopе). An element does not have an absolute atomic mass.

What must be the molarity of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine, (ch3)3n, if it has a ph = 11.20? (ch3)3n+h2o⇌(ch3)3nh++oh−kb

Stolb23 [73]

0.040 mol / dm³. (2 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

$(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ in this question acts as a weak base. As seen in the equation in the question, $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ produces $\text{OH}^{-}$ rather than $\text{H}^{+}$ when it dissolves in water. The concentration of $\text{OH}^{-}$ will likely be more useful than that of $\text{H}^{+}$ for the calculations here.

Finding the value of $[\text{OH}^{-}]$ from pH:

Assume that $\text{pK}_w = 14$ ,

$\begin{array}{ll}\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH} \\ \phantom{\text{pOH}} = 14 - 11.20 &\text{True only under room temperature where }\text{pK}_w = 14 \\\phantom{\text{pOH}}= 2.80\end{array}$ .

$[\text{OH}^{-}] =10^{-\text{pOH}} =10^{-2.80} = 1.59\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

Solve for $[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial}$ :

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{equilibrium}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$

Note that water isn't part of this expression.

The value of Kb is quite small. The change in $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ is nearly negligible once it dissolves. In other words,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} = [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{final}$ .

Also, for each mole of $\text{OH}^{-}$ produced, one mole of $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}$ was also produced. The solution started with a small amount of either species. As a result,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}] = [\text{OH}^{-}] = 10^{-2.80} = 1.58\times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial} =\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{\text{K}_b}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} =\dfrac{(1.58\times10^{-3})^{2}}{6.3\times10^{-5}} = 0.040\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

How many hydrogen atoms are in 5 molecules of isopropyl alcohol, c3h7o?

Oduvanchick [21]

1 molecule of C3H7O has 7 atoms of hydrogen (remember that the numbers to the right of each symbol ara subscripts and they indicate the number of atoms of that element in the molecular formula).

Then 5 molecules will have 5 * 7 atoms of hydrogen.

5 * 7 = 35.

Then the answer is that there are 35 atoms of hydrogen in 5 molecules of isopropyl alcohol, C3H7O
