The acid HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is produced by bubbling chlorine gas through a suspension of solid mercury(II) oxide particles

in liquid water according to the equation 2HgO(s)+H2O(l)+2Cl2(g)⇌2HOCl(aq)+HgO⋅HgCl2(s) What is the equilibrium-constant expression for this reaction?

Answer:

K = [ HOCl ] . [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2

Explanation:

The law of Mass Action states that, at constant temperature, the rate of reaction is proportional to the active masses of each of the reactants.

The reaction above is a reversible reaction and the law of mass action also applies to it.

The rate of reaction from left-to-right reaction = r1 = k. [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2

Rate of reaction from right - to - left r2 = k. [hocl]^2 [HgO . hgcl2]

Then at equilibrium,

r1 = r2

k1/k2 = [HOCl ]^2 [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2 = K

where K is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

Answer:

Explanation:

Inferences are not based on anything from the text while guesses are made only using the text. Inferences are based on evidence in the text while guesses are not. Inferences are made by only using major details from the text while guesses only use minor details.

Which one of these statements about carbon tetrachloride fire extinguishers is true?
Fofino [41]

Answer;

-Prohibited from use by OSHA

Explanation;

-Carbon tetrachloride is a clear and colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of chloroform.It is employed as a chemical reagent for a number of purposes, as a raw material in chemical manufacture and is, used very widely as a reagent to extinguish fires.

-It volatizes very easily, is a non-conductor of electricity and, as noted above, freezes at very low temperatures.

-It is effective, due to the blanketing effect of its vaporized fumes, on many Class B or volatile, flammable liquid fires and because it will mix with certain volatile, flammable liquids and form a non-burning combination.

How many lead (Pb) atoms are in a 5.32 g sample of pure lead?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

1.55×10²² molecules.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 5.32 g of pure lead (Pb). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Pb = 5.32 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mol

Mole of Pb =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of Pb = 5.32/207

Mole of Pb = 0.0257 mole

Finally, we shall determine the number of molecules in 0.0257 mole of Pb. This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

I mole of Pb contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

Therefore, 0.0257 mole will contain = 0.0257 × 6.02×10²³ = 1.55×10²² molecules.

Therefore, 5.32 g of pure lead (Pb) contains 1.55×10²² molecules.
