Answer:

The correct option is;

The reaction pathway for the trials is different

Explanation:

The effect of a catalyst in a chemical reaction is to increase the rate of a reaction by changing the pathway or mechanism of the reaction and/or to lower the transition state's energy thereby lowering the activation energy of the reaction

The pathway of the reaction is changed by the catalyst by the formation of intermediate compounds by the catalyst which require lower activation energy to form the products than the original non-catalyzed reactants. In the process the catalyst is regenerated, thereby, not taking part in the reaction.

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

sergejj [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The expression for equilibrium constant is $K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{eq}$

For the general chemical equation:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The expression for $K_c$ is given as:

$K_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2HgO(s)+H_2O(l)+2Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HOCl(aq.)+HgO.HgCl_2(s)$

The expression for $K_{eq}$ is given as:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2[HgO.HgCl_2]}{[HgO]^2[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

The concentration of solid is taken to be 0.

So, the expression for $K_{eq}$ is given as:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

What is the standard enthalpy of a reaction for which the equilibrium constant is (a) doubled, (b) halved when the temperature i

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a) 48KJ

b) -48KJ

Explanation:

Given that;

ln(K2/K1) = ΔH°/R(1/T2 - 1/T1)

K2= equilibrium constant at T2

K1 = equilibrum constant at T1

R = gas constant

T1 = initial temperature

T2 = final temperature

When we double the equilibrium constant K1; K2 = 2K1

T1 = 310 K

T2 = 310 + 15 = 325 K

ln(2K1/K1) =- ΔH°/R(1/T2 - 1/T1)

ln2 = -ΔH°/8.314(1/325 - 1/310)

0.693 = -ΔH°/8.314(3.08 * 10^-3 - 3.2 * 10^-3)

0.693 = -ΔH°/8.314 (-0.00012)

0.693 = 0.00012ΔH°/8.314

0.693 * 8.314 = 0.00012ΔH°

ΔH° = 0.693 * 8.314/0.00012

ΔH° = 48KJ

b) K2 =K1/2

ln(K1/2/K1) =- ΔH°/R(1/T2 - 1/T1)

ln (1/2) = -ΔH°/8.314 (1/325 - 1/310)

-0.693 = -ΔH°/8.314 (-0.00012)

-0.693 = 0.00012ΔH°/8.314

-0.693 * 8.314 = 0.00012ΔH°

ΔH°= -0.693 * 8.314/0.00012

ΔH°= -48KJ
