Consider the reaction. PCl5(g)↽−−⇀PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) K=0.042 The concentrations of the products at equilibrium are [PCl3]=0.18 M and

[Cl2]=0.30 M . What is the concentration of the reactant, PCl5, at equilibrium?

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of $PCl_5$ is 1.285 M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride follows:

$PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)$

The expression for equilibrium constant is given as:

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

We are given:

$K_c=0.042$

$[PCl_3]=0.18M$

$[Cl_2]=0.30M$

The concentration of solid substances are taken to be 1. Thus, they do not appear in the equilibrium constant expression.

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.042=\frac{0.18\times 0.30}{[PCl_5]}$

$[PCl_5]=1.285$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of $PCl_5$ is 1.285 M.

Find the mass of one atom of uranium-235. Recall that the mass in atomic mass units is equal to the mass in grams of one mole of

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

$3.90*10^{-25}kg/atom$

Explanation:

The molar mass of uranium-235 is 235 g/mol. So one mole of uranium-235 has a mass of 235 g. Put differently 6.022×10^23 atoms of uranium-235 have a mass of 235 g. Knowing that, how can we use that to find the mass of one atom?

mass of one atom = $\frac{235 g}{1mol} *\frac{1 mol}{6.022*10^{23}atoms } *\frac{1kg}{1000g}= 3.90*10^{-25}kg/atom$

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

$3.4\times 10^3 eggs$ are produces are in a month.

Explanation:

Quantity of eggs produced by the chicken in a month = 284 dozens

1 dozen = 12 eggs

Number of eggs in a month:

$284 dozens = 284\times 12 eggs =3,408 eggs\approx 3.4\times 10^3 eegs$

$3.4\times 10^3 eggs$ are produces are in a month.

The reaction 2NO(g)+Cl2(g)→2NOCl(g) is carried out in a closed vessel. If the partial pressure of NO is decreasing at the rate o

Luba_88 [7]

Answer : The rate of change of the total pressure of the vessel is, 10.5 torr/min.

Explanation : Given,

$\frac{d[NO]}{dt}$ =21 torr/min

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NOCl(g)$

The rate of disappearance of $NO$ = $-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NO]}{dt}$

The rate of disappearance of $Cl_2$ = $-\frac{d[Cl_2]}{dt}$

The rate of formation of $NOCl$ = $\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NOCl]}{dt}$

As we know that,

$\frac{d[NO]}{dt}$ =21 torr/min

So,

$-\frac{d[Cl_2]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NO]}{dt}$

$\frac{d[Cl_2]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}\times 21torr/min=10.5torr/min$

And,

$\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NOCl]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NO]}$

$\frac{d[NOCl]}{dt}=\frac{d[NO]}=21torr/min$

Now we have to calculate the rate change.

Rate change = Reactant rate - Product rate

Rate change = (21 + 10.5) - 21 = 10.5 torr/min

Therefore, the rate of change of the total pressure of the vessel is, 10.5 torr/min.
