Answer:

The transmittance is the amount of energy that a body goes through in a certain amount of time without being absorbed and the absorbance is the amount of light that is absorbed by a solution.

There is no difference between absorptivity and molar absorptivity because the two terms express the same idea, because molar absorptivity is the absorbance of a solution per unit path length and concentration, so that the absorbance is proportional to concentration.

To a 25.00 mL volumetric flask, a lab technician adds a 0.150 g sample of a weak monoprotic acid, HA , and dilutes to the mark w

Elis [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of weak acid is $4.24\times 10^{-3}$ moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles of KOH, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

We are given:

Volume of solution = 43.81 mL = 0.04381 L (Conversion factor: 1L = 1000 mL)

Molarity of the solution = 0.0969 moles/ L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0969mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}}{0.04381}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$

The chemical reaction of weak monoprotic acid and KOH follows the equation:

$HA+KOH\rightarrow KA+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of KOH reacts with 1 mole of weak monoprotic acid.

So, $4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$ of KOH will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4.24\times 10^{-3}=4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$ of weak monoprotic acid.

Hence, the number of moles of weak acid is $4.24\times 10^{-3}$ moles.

Stolb23 [73]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Consider the reaction: $NO_2(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+CO_2(g)$

Kc = 0.30 at some temperature.

If the initial mixture has the concentrations below, the system is_______.

Chemicals Concentration (mol/L)

- NO₂ 0.024

- CO 0.360

- NO 0.180

- CO₂ 0.120

Possible answers:

1) not at equilibrium and will remain in an unequilibrated state.

2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.

3) not at equilibrium and will shift to the right to achieve an equilibrium state.

4) at equilibrium

Answer : The correct option is, (2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Qc) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

First we have to determine the value of reaction quotient (Qc).

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$NO_2(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+CO_2(g)$

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q_c=\frac{[NO][CO_2]}{[NO_2][CO]}$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$Q_c=\frac{(0.180)\times (0.120)}{(0.024)\times (0.360)}=2.5$

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When $Q>K$ that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When $Q$ that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When $Q=K$ that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

The given equilibrium constant value is, $K_c=0.30$

From the above we conclude that, the $Q>K$ that means reactant < product. So, the reaction is reactant favored that means reaction must shift to the reactant or left to be in equilibrium.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.
