A scientist finds that one volume of an unknown gas X combines with two volumes of another gas Y to form two volumes of a new ga
1 answer:
Answer:
Gas X
Explanation:
The given reaction can be written in the form of chemical equation as shown below as:
According to law of conservation of mass, the moles of each substance in the reaction must be equal on both reactant and product side.
Also, the question asks for the gas which is diatomic. cannot be diatomic as the formula contains 3 atoms.
Between gas X and gas Y , <u>X has to be diatomic for the reaction to balance </u>as:

Here we have to get the of the reaction at 520 K temperature.
The of the reaction is 1.705 atm
We know the relation between and
is
, where
= The equilibrium constant of the reaction in terms of partial pressure,
= The equilibrium constant of the reaction in terms of concentration and N = number of moles of gaseous products - Number of moles of gaseous reactants.
Now in this reaction, PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅
Thus number of moles of gaseous product is 1, and number of moles of gaseous reactants are 2. Thus N = |1 - 2| = 1 mole
The given value of is 4.0×10⁻²
The molar gas constant, R = 0.082 L. Atm. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ and temperature, T = 520 K.
On plugging the values in the equation we get,
Or, = 1.705 atm
Thus, the of the reaction is 1.705 atm
Answer:
See explanation.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the described chemical reaction:
2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)
We can notice there is a 2:1 molar ratio between the moles of hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide, therefore, at the equivalence point:
And in terms of volumes and concentrations we verify:
So we use the given data to proof it:
Therefore, we can conclude the data is wrong by means of the 2:1 mole ratio that for sure was not taken into account. This is also supported by the fact that normalities are actually the same, but the nomality of magnesium hydroxide is the half of the hydrochloric acid normality since the acid is monoprotic and the base has two hydroxyl ions.
Best regards.
