Why the piece of sodium chloride is hard than sodium metal?

1 answer:

5 0

Sodium chloride is salt, it is an ionic substance thus there is no covalent bonds between the substances only ionic. sodium metal is more malleable but has a higher melting point and doesn't disolve for reasons I think is above your level, the point is sodium is harder

Consider the equilibrium reaction and its equilibrium constant expression. Br 2 ( g ) + 2 NO ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 NOBr ( g ) K = [ NO

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

$K_2=\frac{[NOBr]^4_{eq}}{[NO]^4_{eq}[Br]^2_{eq}}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the equilibrium condition, the equilibrium constant is defined via the law of mass action, which states that the division between the concentrations of the products over the concentration of the reactants at equilibrium equals the equilibrium constant, for the given reaction:

$2 Br_2 ( g ) + 4 NO ( g ) \rightleftharpoons 4NOBr ( g )$

The suitable equilibrium constant turns out:

$K_2=\frac{[NOBr]^4_{eq}}{[NO]^4_{eq}[Br]^2_{eq}}$

Or in terms of the initial equilibrium constant:

$K_2=K_1^2$

Since the second reaction is a doubled version of the first one.

Best regards.
