Water clarity is a measure of how far down light can penetrate through the water. The clearer the water is the farther light can go down. This is important because with water clarity we can find out how much living things that part of the water can support. Clearer water allows light to reach farther down, which can allow aquatic plants to grow deeper in the water.

If a system has a reaction quotient of 2.13 ✕ 10−15 at 100°C, what will happen to the concentrations of COBr2, CO, and Br2 as th
qaws [65]

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

Consider the following equilibrium at 100°C.

COBr_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Br_2(g)

K_c=4.74\times 10^4

Concentration at equilibrium:

[COBr_2]=1.58\times 10^{-6}M

[Co]=2.78\times 10^{-3}M

[Br_2]=2.51\times 10^{-5}M

If a system has a reaction quotient of 2.13 × 10⁻¹⁵ at 100°c, what will happen to the concentrations of COBr₂, Co and Br₂ as the reaction proceeds to equilibrium?

Answer : The concentrations of Co and Br₂ decreases and the concentrations of COBr₂ increases.

Explanation :

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

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

COBr_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Br_2(g)

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q=\frac{[CO][Br_2]}{[COBr_2]}

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=\frac{(2.78\times 10^{-3})\times (2.51\times 10^{-5})}{(1.58\times 10^{-6})}=4.42\times 10^{-2}

The given equilibrium constant value is, K_c=4.74\times 10^4

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_c 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_c that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

From the above we conclude that, the Q that means product < reactant. So, the reaction is product favored that means reaction must shift to the product (right) to be in equilibrium.

Hence, the concentrations of Co and Br₂ decreases and the concentrations of COBr₂ increases.

1. In general, the nucleus of a small atom is stable. Therefore, over very short distances, such as those in a small nucleus,
postnew [5]
<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
  • Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
  • Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>

<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>

b. change into a different element altogether.

Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will  <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.

<h3><u> Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
  • <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
  • Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>
