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.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The relevant equation is:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Explanation:

1 mol of calcium carbonate can react to 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mol of water, 1 mol of calcium chloride and 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

The formed CO₂ is the reason why you noticed bubbles as the reaction took place

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Carnitine Synthesis

Explanation:

Ascorbic acid acts as a cofactor in various hydroxylation and amidation reactions by electron transfer to enzymes that provide reducing equivalents. Accordingly, ascorbic acid is required or facilitates the conversion of certain proline and lysine residues of the procollagen, the oxidation of lysine side chains to proteins, providing hydroxytrimethylsiline for carnitine synthesis. This means that ascorbic acid is essential for the carnitine synthesis.

Carnitine is derived from amino acids and acts as a cofactor for the enzyme acetyltransferase responsible for the transport of fatty acids to mitochondria. Your presence in the body is very important for feeling energetic and strong. The lack of canitine, influenced by the lack of ascorbic acid in individuals suffering from scurvy, causes a lack of energy.
