Answer:

kb = 2,0x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The ka for HCN is:

HCN ⇄ H⁺ + CN⁻; ka = 4,9x10⁻¹⁰ (1)

The inverse reaction has an equilibrium constant of:

H⁺ + CN⁻ ⇄ HCN k = 1/4,9x10⁻¹⁰ = 2,0x10⁹ (2)

As the equilibrium of the water is:

H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻; kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ (3)

The sum of (2) + (3) gives:

H₂O + CN⁻ ⇄ HCN + OH⁻; kb = kw×k = 1x10⁻¹⁴×2,0x10⁹ =

2,0x10⁻⁶; kb = 2,0x10⁻⁵

-In fact, the general formula to convert from ka to kb is:

kb = kw / ka-

( HELP) The following system is at equilibrium. In which direction (right or left) will the equilibrium position shift with the

Alex Ar [27]

a) right

b) left

c) left

d) right

e) right

f) no effect

d) left

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

3 NO (g) ⇔ N₂O (g) + NO₂ (g) + 154.9 kJ

a) right, because by lowering the temperature you remove the heat generated by the reaction, and the reaction is able to generate more heat with the reaction proceeding from left to right.

b) left, because by increasing the temperature you add heat to the reaction and by doing so the reaction from right to left will be promoted.

c) left, increasing the concentration of N₂O the equilibrium will shift to left in order to consume the N₂O added.

d) right, increasing the concentration of NO the equilibrium will shift to right in order to consume the NO added.

e) right, decreasing the concentration of N₂O the equilibrium will shift to right in order to produce the removed N₂O.

f) no effect, adding a catalyst will not shift the equilibrium position, it will only modify the time in which the equilibrium is achieved and the energy required to achieve the equilibrium state.

g) left, by increasing the volume the equilibrium will shift to the part where more moles are produced (there are 3 moles on left side while in the right side there are 2 moles).

List the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in Chlorine-18. (3 points)

Mama L [17]

The electronic configuration of Chlorine is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5.

There are three energy levels in chlorine

First energy level is n=1 has 1s2 so total 2 electrons

Second energy level is n=2, 2s2 2p6 so total 2+6= 8 electrons

Third has 3s2 3p5 electrons just 7 total... p can contain 6 electrons but only 5 are present. So the third level has lesser number of electrons than that can be filled

How many types of nomenclature in the features of organic chemistry? What are they?

12345 [234]

Answer:

there are two types of nomenclature used in organic system. the most widely used and universally accepted system of nomenclature is the IUPAC system of nomenclature. some compounds are referred to by their common name that existed before the IUPAC system or is more widely known than the IUPAC names.

Explanation:

IUPAC ( international union of pure and applied chemistry) system of nomenclature is used to name compounds in organic system. there are some principles to be followed while using this nomenclature. some of them are:-

1) identification of parent chain is the first step. the longest hydrocarbon chain is the parent chain.

2) identification of all the substituent groups of the parent chain is also required.

3) hydrocarbon cyclic ring has a fixed prefix and that is cyclo.

answers are in attachment

Explanation:

1. Synthesis Reaction: In this type of reaction multiple reactant combine to form a single product.

2. Decomposition Reaction: In this type of reaction single compound or reactant break down into new elements or compounds.

3. Replacement Reaction: In this type of reaction an element replace an element in a compound.

4. Even hydrogen is not a metal but it can act as metal in single replacement reaction.

5. In combustion reaction fuel react with oxygen and give heat and light that increase temperature of surrounding.

Natural gas is a mixture of many substances, primarily CH₄, C₂H₆, C3H8, and C4₄H₁₀. assuming that the total pressure of the gase

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

A. The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0925atm

B. The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.925atm

C. The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.346atm

D. The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.115atm

Explanation:

Total pressure = 1.48atm

Total mole = 0.4+4+1.5+0.5=6.4

A. Mole fraction of CH4 = 0.4/6.4 = 0.0625

The partial pressure for CH4 = 0.0625 x 1.48 = 0.0925atm

B. Mole fraction of C2H6 = 4/6.4 = 0.625

The partial pressure for C2H6 = 0.625 x 1.48 = 0.925atm

C. Mole fraction of C3H8 = 1.5/6.4 = 0.234

The partial pressure for C3H8 = 0.234 x 1.48 = 0.346atm

D. Mole fraction of C4H10 = 0.5/6.4 = 0.078

The partial pressure for C4H10 = 0.078 x 1.48 = 0.115atm
