A mixture of gaseous CO and H2, called synthesis gas, is used commercially to prepare methanol (CH3OH), a compound considered an

alternative fuel to gasoline. Under equilibrium conditions at 540.2 K, [H2] = 0.067 mol [CO]=0.021 mol/L and [CH3OH]=0.040 mol/L what is the value of Kc for this reaction at 505.0 K?

Answer : The value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 424.3

Explanation :  Given,

Concentration of H_2 at equilibrium = 0.067 mol

Concentration of CO at equilibrium = 0.021 mol

Concentration of CH_3OH at equilibrium = 0.040 mol

The given chemical reaction is:

CO+2H_2\rightarrow CH_3OH

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{[CH_3OH]}{[CO][H_2]^2}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(0.040)}{(0.021)\times (0.067)^2}

K_c=424.3

Thus, the value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 424.3

Neon has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Does it need to bond?<br> Why or Why not.
AveGali [126]

Neon is a noble gas, so is very stable and has an atomic number of 10. So it has 10 protons and 10 neutons. So no it does not need to bond.

Which of the following conditions will ensure that a chemical reaction will definitely proceed in the forward direction, toward
Grace [21]

Answer:

When ΔS > ΔH/ T, then the reaction will proceed forward

Explanation:

  • The entity that determines the whether a reaction will occur on its own in the forward direction (Spontaneity or Feasibility) is Gibb's free energy.
  • Gibb's free energy is the energy available to do work. It is denoted as 'G'. It cannot be easily measured. The change (ΔG) can only be measured.  ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

when ΔG is positive, The reaction is not spontaneous (reaction will not occur on its own)

When ΔG is negative, The reaction is spontaneous (reaction will occur on its own)

When ΔG is zero, the reaction is in equilibrium

Option A and E are not correct. ΔH (Enthalpy) cannot determine spontaneity

Option C and D cannot alone determine spontaneity of reaction

For reaction to be spontaneous, TΔS > ΔH

Therefore, ΔS > ΔH/T

Who was the first person to come up with the idea of the "atom?"
defon

Answer: Democritus

Explanation: Democritus was a Greek philosopher who was the first person to use the term atom(atomos: meaning indivisible). He thought that if you take a piece of matter and divide it and continue to divide it you will eventually come to a point where you could not divide it any more. This fundamental or basicunit was what Democritus called an atom.
