They have only one electron in their outer most shell which makes them very reactive and they react with other atoms thats why

Find the mass of 175.4mL of benzene if the density is 0.8786g/ml

bulgar [2K]

Hey there!:

Volume = 175.4 mL

density = 0.8786 g/mL

mass = ?

Therefore:

D = m / V

0.8786 = m / 175.4

m = 0.8786 * 175.4

m = 154.10644 g

hope this helps!

If an equal number of moles of reactants are used, do the following equilibrium mixtures contain primarily reactants or products

puteri [66]

Answer:

For a: The equilibrium mixture contains primarily reactants.

For b: The equilibrium mixture contains primarily products.

Explanation:

There are 3 conditions:

When $K_{eq}>1$ ; the reaction is product favored.
When $K_{eq}$ ; the reaction is reactant favored.
When $K_{e}=1$ ; the reaction is in equilibrium.

For the given chemical reactions:

For a:

The chemical equation follows:

$HCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons CN^-(aq.)+H_3O^+(aq.);K_{eq}=6.2\times 10^{-10}$

The expression of $K_{eq}$ for above reaction follows:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[CN^-][H_3O^+]}{[HCN][H_2O]}=6.2\times 10^{-10}$

As, $K_{eq}$ , the reaction will be favored on the reactant side.

Hence, the equilibrium mixture contains primarily reactants.

For b:

The chemical equation follows:

$H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HCl(g);K_{eq}=2.51\times 10^{4}$

The expression of $K_{eq}$ for above reaction follows:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[HCl]^2}{[H_2][Cl_2]}=2.51\times 10^{4}$

As, $K_{eq}>1$ , the reaction will be favored on the product side.

Hence, the equilibrium mixture contains primarily products.
