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

Which of the following are characteristics of ionic
Margarita [4]

Answer:

  • have high melting and boiling points
  • are hard
  • are good conductors of electricity when  dissolved in water

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed between a metal and non-metal with a significant electronegativity difference. The metals transfers their electrons to the non-metals and the electrostatic attraction of the ions brings about the bonding that forms the compound.

Ionic compounds are diverse in nature and form.

Here are some of their properties:

  • They are usually hard solids with a high melting point or liquids with high boiling points
  • They are soluble in water and non-soluble in non-polar solvents
  • They are able to conduct electricity in molten form.
  • They undergo very fast reaction in aqueous solutions.

Which is an issue that governments must consider before passing conservation policies? urbanization implications cost to impleme
bixtya [17]

Answer:

urbanization implications

environmental implications

benefit versus the cost

Explanation:

Conservation involves preservation of organisms and their natural habitat to encourage biodiversity and reduces the risk of extinction.

Urbanization involves the loss of organism’s natural habitat due to deforestation and building of more structures such as buildings and road structures.Government must consider before passing conservation policies if the urbanization will have a bigger impact than conservation.

Environmental implications is also taken into account as the environment is where we live and makes it very important to ensure there are no negative effects.

The benefit and cost are weighed and the one with a lower cost and higher benefit is usually embraced.
