A is correct................
Answer:
11.72 grams
Explanation:
Let the equilibrium concentration of BrCl be y
Initial concentration of Br2 = number of moles ÷ volume = (0.979×1000/160) ÷ 199 = 0.031 M
Initial concentration of Cl2 = (1.075×1000/71) ÷ 199 = 0.076 M
From the equation of reaction
1 mole of Br2 reacted with 1 mole of Cl2 to form 2 moles of BrCl
Therefore, equilibrium concentration of Br2 = (0.031 - 0.5y) M while that of Cl2 = (0.076 - 0.5y) M
Kp = [BrCl]^2/[Br2][Cl2]
1.1×10^-4 = y^2/(0.031 - 0.5y)(0.076 - 0.5y)
y^2/0.002356-0.0535y+0.25y^2 = 0.00011
y^2/0.00011 = 0.002356-0.0536y+0.25y^2
9090.9y^2-0.25y^2+0.0536y-0.002356 = 0
9090.65y^2+0.0535y-0.002356 = 0
The value of y must be positive and is obtained using the quadratic formula
y = [-0.0535 + sqrt(0.0535^2 - 4×9090.65×-0.002356)] ÷ 2(9090.65) = 9.2025/18181.3 = 0.00051 M
Mass of BrCl = concentration×volume×MW = 0.00051×199×115.5 = 11.72 grams
Answer:
Explanation:
Scientists don't stop with the first step of their experiment because they want other scientists' opinions because they may not trust their own observations.
OR
Scientists don't stop with the first step of their experiment because they would rather plan and run experiments than just observe the world around them
Hope any one of these helps you
