The characteristic of atoms is

They are the smallest units of matter

Explanation

Atoms are the smallest constituent units of matter and they have properties of chemical elements.

Atoms can not be broken by any chemical means.

Atoms of an elements combine together to form compound.

In addition atoms consist nucleus of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons with negatively charged electrons.

When H2(g) reacts with Cl2(g) to form HCl(g) , 185 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of H2(g) that reacts. Write a balanced

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g) + 185kJ

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, enthalpy of reaction ΔH is a thermodynamic constant that gives information if the reaction is exothermic (Produce heat if reacts) or endothermic (Consume heat if reacts).

In the reaction:

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g) ΔH = -185kJ

As ΔH <0, the reaction is exothermic, that means, produce heat, writing a balanced thermochemical equation:

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g) + 185kJ

The enthalpy is as a product beacause an exothermic reaction produces heat.

I hope it helps!

A mixture initially contains AA, BB, and CC in the following concentrations: [A][A]A_1 = 0.550 MM , [B][B]B_1 = 1.40 MM , and [C

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The value of the equilibrium constant KC is 1.244

Explanation:

A mixture initially contains A, B, and C in the following concentrations: [A] = 0.550 M, [B] = 1.40 M, and [C] = 0.600 M. The following reaction occurs and equilibrium is established: A+2B<->C

At equilibrium, [A] = 0.430 M and [C] = 0.720 M. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc

Step 1: The balanced equation

A+2B<->C

Step 2: The initial concentrations

[A] = 0.550 M

[B]= 1.40 M

[C] = 0.600 M

Step 3: The concentraions at equilibrium

[A] = 0.550 -X = 0.430 M

[B]= 1.40 -2X M

[C] = 0.600 + X = 0.720 M

X = 0.120 M

[A] = 0.550 - 0.120 = 0.430 M

[B]= 1.40 -2*0.120 = 1.16 M

[C] = 0.600 + 0.120 = 0.720 M

Step 4: Calculate Kc

Kc = [C] / [A][B]²

Kc = 0.720 / (0.430*1.16²)

Kc = 1.244

The value of the equilibrium constant KC is 1.244

Given the equation representing a solution equilibrium: BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq)

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) decreases

Explanation:

Whenever a solution of an ionic substance comes into contact with another ionic compound with which it shares a common ion, the solubility of the ionic substance in solution decreases significantly.

In this case, both BaSO4 and Na2SO4 both possess the SO4^2- anion. Hence SO4^2- anion is the common ion. Given the equilibrium;

BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq), addition of Na2SO4 will decrease the solubility of BaSO4 due to the presence of a common SO4^2- anion compared to pure water.

This implies that the equilibrium will shift to the left, (more undissoctiated BaSO4) hence decreasing the Ba^2+(aq) concentration.
