Answer:

When an element or substance is in a liquid state, the particles are joined by less attractive forces than in solids, for this reason the particles of a liquid can move freely.For this reason the particles of a liquid can move freely and need a recipient that contains them .

Liquids have a defined volume but with a variable shape, this means that liquids adopt the shape of the container but always occupy the same space

For example, if we have 4 L of water in a round container, its shape is round and now we put the water in a square container, its shape is now square but its volume is still 4 L (it continues to occupy the same space)

liquid is fluid in motion, needing to be contained. while a solid state of matter is as such and won't run down the cabinet

Answer : The value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is, 0.36

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$Br_2(aq)+Cl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons 2BrCl(aq)$

The expression of $K_c$ will be,

$K_c=\frac{[BrCl]^2}{[Br_2][Cl_2]}$

First we have to calculate the concentration of $Br_2,Cl_2\text{ and }BrCl$ .

$\text{Concentration of }Br_2=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1M$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1M$

$\text{Concentration of }BrCl=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.300mol}{0.500L}=0.6M$

Now we have to calculate the value of $K_c$ for the given reaction.

$K_c=\frac{[BrCl]^2}{[Br_2][Cl_2]}$

$K_c=\frac{(0.6)^2}{(1)\times (1)}$

$K_c=0.36$

Therefore, the value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is, 0.36

Name each of the following species for the following acid-base reactions. (The equilibrium lies to the right in each case, i.e.,

DaniilM [7]

Answer: a) $H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O$

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) $CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-$

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) $NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-$

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

The species accepting a proton is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms a conjugate acid.

The species losing a proton is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms a conjugate base

For the given chemical equation:

a) $H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O$

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) $CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-$

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) $NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-$

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion
