Answer:

D) [PCl5]=0.00765M,[PCl3]=0.117M,and [Cl2]=0.0.117M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₅(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

And knowing:

Kc = [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

When you add PCl₅ into a flask, this gas will react producing PCl₃ and Cl₂ until [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

This could be written as:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

<em>Where X represents the moles of PCl₅ that react, </em><em>reaction coordinate.</em>

Replacing in Kc expression:

[PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

[X [X] / [0.125 - X] = 1.80

X² = 0.225 - 1.80X

0 = -X² -1.80X + 0.225

Solving for X:

X = -1.9M → False solution, there is no negative concentrations

X = 0.11735M → Right solution.

Replacing, concentrations in equilibrium are:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

[PCl₃] = 0.117M

[Cl₂] = 0.117M

[PCl₅] = 0.00765M

And right option is:

I would choose count of electron shells and count of valence electrons. The electron configuration of each element is fixed and can be used to determine the element's identity. By counting the electron shells, you can have an idea which part of the periodic table the mystery element lies, and by determining the number of valence electrons (outermost shell), you can pinpoint the exact identity of the mystery element.

In a single replacement reaction between 2.57 moles Aluminum and 3.59 moles of Hydrochloric acid, how many moles of Hydrogen can

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1.795 mole of H2.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2Al + 6HCl —> 2AlCl3 + 3H2

Step 2:

Determination of the limiting reactant.

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of Al reacted with 6 moles

Therefore, 2.57 moles of Al will react with = (2.57 x 6)/2 = 7.71 moles of HCl.

From the calculation made above, it will require a higher amount of HCl than what was given to react completely with 2.57 moles of Al. Therefore, HCl is the limiting reactant and Al is the excess reactant.

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole H2 produced from the reaction.

Here, we shall be using the limiting reactant because it will produce the maximum yield of the reaction since all of it were consumed by the reaction.

The limiting reactant is HCl and the amount of H2 produce can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

6 moles of HCl reacted to produce 3 moles of H2.

Therefore, 3.59 moles of HCl will produce = (3.59 x 3)/6 = 1.795 mole of H2.

From the calculations made above, 1.795 mole of H2 is produced from the reaction.
