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:

etermine the number of valence electrons for each of the atoms. Enter each answer as a numeral. For example, if an atom has two

Sav [38]

Answer:

1. 1

2. 2

3. 6

4. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

1. Li is the symbol for the chemical element known as Lithium: it has 1 valence electron. The electronic configuration of lithium is 1s²2s¹

2. Mg is the symbol for the chemical element known as Magnesium: it has 2 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p63s²

3. O is the symbol for the chemical element known as Oxygen: it has 6 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁴.

4. Ne is the symbol for the chemical element known as Neon: it has 8 valence electrons.

A certain gas is found in the exhaust of automobiles and power plants. Consider a 1.53 L sample of a gas at a pressure of 5.6 x

Olegator [25]

The new volume of the gas that has an initial pressure of 5.6 x 10⁵ Pa is 5.7L. Details about volume of the gas can be found below.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a gas can be calculated using the Boyle's law equation as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure
P2 = final pressure
V1 = initial volume
V2 = final volume

1.53 × 5.6 × 10⁵ = 1.5 × 10⁵ × V2

8.568 × 10⁵ = 1.5 × 10⁵V2

V2 = 8.57 × 10⁵ ÷ 1.5 × 10⁵

V2 = 5.7L

Therefore, the new volume of the gas that has an initial pressure of 5.6 x 10⁵ Pa is 5.7L.

The sulfuric acid–catalyzed reaction of isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid to form isopentyl acetate is performed. This reaction

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct option is acetic acid

Explanation:

Distillation is the process of separating a mixture of substances based on differences in boiling points. During distillation, the compound with the lowest/least boiling point is distilled and collected first and then the one with the next least boiling point and it goes on like that.

From the explanation above, <u>acetic acid has the least boiling point (in the organic layer) with 118°C and thus will distill first</u>. This is then followed by isopentyl alcohol (130°C) and then isopentyl acetate (142°C) and finally sulfuric acid water (290°C).
