Answer:

(a) Ka = \frac{(SO3)^{2} }{(S)^{2}*(O2)^{3}  }

(b) Kb = \frac{(SO2)^{1} }{(S)^{1} *(O2)^{1} }

Explanation:

Correct equation: 2S(s) + 3O_{2}(g) ⇒ 2SO_{3}(g)\\

S(s) + O_{2}(g) ⇒ 2SO_{2}(g)\\

Equilibrium constant refers to a relation between products and reactants of an equilibrium reaction with respect to the components concentration and coefficients.

generally in an equilibrium reaction between reactant A, B, C and D shown below

aA+bB ⇒ cC + dD

the equilibrium constant is represented by

k = \frac{C^{c} *D^{d} }{A^{a} *B^{b} }

comparing this with the equation in the problem the equilibrium constants ka and kb are;

Ka = \frac{(SO3)^{2} }{(S)^{2}*(O2)^{3}  }

Kb = \frac{(SO2)^{1} }{(S)^{1} *(O2)^{1} }

Do iron (III) chloride, potassium iodide, or potassium chloride catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?
alexira [117]
Iron (III) chloride catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide because the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is usually inhibited by the presence of ions such as phosphate ions in solution. The iron ions that would result from the dissolution of iron (III) chloride have a charge of 3+ and would bond with the -3 charged phosphate ions, creating a non-charged FePO4 molecule and removing the decomposition inhibitor from the solution. Potassium iodide and potassium chloride both are more strongly bonded than a transition metal compound and would lack the necessary charged iron ion when added to hydrogen peroxide.

What causes convection currents in a gas or liquid?​
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Convection currents are caused by a temperature difference in gases and liquids. As one area becomes warmer than another the molecules have more energy and start vibrating more vigorously thus spreading out and becoming less dense. This means that the less dense parts will become more buoyant causing them to rise.

Newbie Here pls.. HELP me​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

1. Litres

2. minutes

3. Kelvin (K)

4. Kilometer/hour

5. hours

6. Litre

7. metre

8. metre

9. Litres

10. milliliters

Explanation:

1. Coca-Cola is a liquid substance, hence, its volume must be measured in LITRES.

2. This question is related to time I.e. being early, hence, the unit of measurement is MINUTES.

3. The unit of temperature is Kelvin (K). Therefore, water boils at 373K

4. This question is related to speed, whose unit of measurement is kilometer/hour (km/hr).

5. A movie runs with time, which is measured in HOURS.

6. Mineral water is a liquid, which can only be bought per volume. Hence, the appropriate unit is LITRE.

7. Height is measured in metres (m). Therefore, one can say that " the height of your younger brother is 10metres"

8. The length of a substance is also measured in metres.

9. Volume is measured in LITRES

10. Cough syrup is a drug whose volume is quantified by millilitres i.e. a thousandth litre

What is the oxidation state for the oxygen atom in na 2 ​ o 2 ​ ?
elixir [45]
Na_{2}O_{2}

Na in compounds has oxidation number +1 only.

So,  Na_{2}^{+1}O_{2}^{x}

2*(+1)+2x=0, x=-1.

Oxidation number oxygen in Na_{2}O_{2} is - 1.
