Suppose that the gas-phase reactions A→B and B→A are both elementary processes with rate constants of 4.7×10−3s−1 and 5.8×10−1s−

1, respectively.
What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the equilibrium A(g)⇌B(g)?

Answer:

K = 8.1 x 10⁻³

Explanation:

We are told here that these gas phase reactions are both elementary processes, thus the reactions forward and reverse are both first order:

A→B        Rate(forward) = k(forward) x [A]

and for

B→A       Rate(reverse) = k(reverse) x [B]

At equilibrium we know the rates of the forward and reverse reaction are equal, so

k(forward) x [A]  = k(reverse) x [B]    for A(g)⇌B(g)

⇒  k(forward) / k(reverse)  =  [B] / [A] =  K

4.7 x 10⁻³  s⁻1 / 5.8 x 10⁻¹ s⁻¹ = 8.1 x 10⁻³ = K

Notice how this answer is logical : the rate of the reverse reaction is greater than the forward reaction ( a factor of approximately 120 times) , and will be expecting a number for the equilibrium constant, K, smaller than one where the reactant concentration, [A], will prevail.

It is worth to mention that this is only valid for reactions which are single, elementary processes and not true for other equilibria.

All the molecules of a substance possess the "average kinetic energy" value.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

when molecules of a solid substance is vibrating so, it means they are possessing average kinetic energy. thus, we can conclude that the statement all the molecules of a substance posses the average kinetic energy value is true.

In a living organism, what is a tissue
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Tissue is a group of cells.

Explanation:

Human body tissue consists of groups of cells with a similar structure working together for a specific function.

Human body tissue is another way of describing how our cells are grouped together in a highly organized manner according to specific structure and function. These groupings of cells form tissues, which then make up organs and various parts of the body. For example, it's easy to see and feel muscle in the body. Muscle is one of the four types of human body tissue. In this lesson, learn more about the types of tissue and how each functions for a different purpose.
