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:

<h3>D) [PCl5]=0.00765M,[PCl3]=0.117M,and [Cl2]=0.0.117M</h3>

Arisa [49]
Alkaline earth metals are metals of group two. They are divalent metals and they have a highly negative reduction potential hence the metals are mostly extracted by electrolysis.

They are highly reactive metals. They react with water but do so less readily than alkali earth metals.

Owing to their high reactivity, they are seldom found free in nature. They always occur in combined state with other highly reactive nonmetals.

A compound is found to be 30.45% n and 69.55 % o by mass. if 1.63 g of this compound occupy 389 ml at 0.00°c and 775 mm hg, what
Charra [1.4K]
1) mass composition

N: 30.45%
O: 69.55%
   -----------
   100.00%

2) molar composition

Divide each element by its atomic mass

N: 30.45 / 14.00 = 2.175 mol

O: 69.55 / 16.00 = 4.346875

4) Find the smallest molar proportion

Divide both by the smaller number

N: 2.175 / 2.175 = 1

O: 4.346875 / 2.175 = 1.999 = 2

5) Empirical formula: NO2

6) mass of the empirical formula

14.00 + 2 * 16.00 = 46.00 g

7) Find the number of moles of the gas using the equation pV = nRT

=> n = pV / RT = (775/760) atm * 0.389 l / (0.0821 atm*l /K*mol * 273.15K)

=> n = 0.01769 moles

8) Find molar mass

molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles = 1.63 g / 0.01769 mol = 92.14 g / mol

9) Find how many times the mass of the empirical formula is contained in the molar mass

92.14 / 46.00 = 2.00

10) Multiply the subscripts of the empirical formula by the number found in the previous step

=> N2O4

Answer: N2O4
