Given K = 3.61 at 45°C for the reaction A(g) + B(g) equilibrium reaction arrow C(g) and K = 7.19 at 45°C for the reaction 2 A(g)

+ D(g) equilibrium reaction arrow C(g) what is the value of K at the temperature for the following reaction? C(g) + D(g) equilibrium reaction arrow 2 B(g) What is the value of Kp at 45°C for the same reaction?

Answer:

K = 0.55

Kp = 0.55

mol fraction B = 0.27

Explanation:

We need to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction:

C(g) + D(g) ⇄ 2B(g)              K₁= ?                       (1)

and we are given the following equilibria with their respective Ks

A(g) + B(g) ⇄ C(g)                 K₂= 3.61                 (2)

2 A(g) + D(g)  ⇄ C(g)             K₃= 7.19                 (3)

all at 45 ºC.

What we need to do to solve this question is to manipulate equations (2) and (3)  algebraically  to get our desired equilibrium (1).

We are allowed to reverse  reactions, in that case we take the reciprocal of K as our new K' ; we can also  add two equilibria together, and the new equilibrium constant will be the product of their respective Ks .

Finally if we multiply by a number then we raise the old constant to that factor to get the new equilibrium constant.

With all this  in mind, lets try to solve our question.

Notice A is not in our goal equilibrium (3)  and we want D as a reactant . That  suggests we should reverse the first equilibria and multiply it by two since we have 2 moles of B  as product in our  equilibrium (1) . Finally we would add (2) and (3) to get  (1) which is our final  goal.

2C(g)             ⇄  2A(g) + 2B(g)  K₂´= ( 1/ 3.61 )²  

                                   ₊

2 A(g) + D(g)  ⇄     C(g)               K₃ = 7.19  

<u>                                                                                    </u>

C(g) + D(g)     ⇄    2B(g)       K₁ = ( 1/ 3.61 )²   x  7.19

                                             K₁ = 0.55

Kp is the same as K = 0.55 since the equilibrium constant expression only involves  gases.

To compute the last part lets setup the following mnemonic  ICE table to determine the quantities at equilibrium:

pressure (atm)        C             D           B

initial                     1.64          1.64         0

change                    -x             -x        +2x

equilibrium          1.64-x         1.64-       2x

Thus since

Kp =0.55 = pB²/ (pC x pD) = (2x)²/ (1.64 -x)²  where p= partial pressure

Taking square root to both sides of the equation we have

√0.55 = 2x/(1.64 - x)

solving for x  we obtain a value of 0.44 atm.

Thus at equilibrium we have:

(1.64 - 0.44) atm = 1.20 atm = pC = p D

2(0.44) = 0.88 = pB

mole fraction of B = partial pressure of B divided into the total gas pressure:

X(B) = 0.88 / ( 1.20 + 1.20 + 0.88 ) = 0.27

Valence electrons<br> Fill in the blanks
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Valence electrons or outer electrons are most important as they participate in bonding. The octet rule states that atoms gain, lose, or share valence electrons to have filled energy levels.. this gives atoms a stable configuration like that of the nearest noble gas.

Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound. Its molar mass is 58.44g. One formula unit of NaCl consists of one____, whose chemical sym
saul85 [17]

Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is Na^+ and one anion whose chemical symbol is Cl^-

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms  Na^+ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms Cl^-.

For a formula unit of sodium chloride,  the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

Na^+ and  Cl^- combine to form neutral NaCl
