An equilibrium mixture of PCl5(g), PCl3(g), and Cl2(g) has partial pressures of 217.0 Torr, 13.2 Torr, and 13.2 Torr, respective
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished:

PCl_3,p_1'=6.798 Torr

Cl_2,p_2'=26.398 Torr

PCl_5,p_3'=223.402 Torr

Explanation:

PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

At equilibrium before adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the PCl_3=p_1=13.2 Torr

Partial pressure of the Cl_2=p_2=13.2 Torr

Partial pressure of the PCl_5=p_3=217.0 Torr

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

K_p=\frac{p_1}{p_1\times p_2}

=\frac{217.0 Torr}{13.2 Torr\times 13.2 Torr}=1.245

At equilibrium after adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the PCl_3=p_1'=13.2 Torr

Partial pressure of the Cl_2=p_2'=?

Partial pressure of the PCl_5=p_3'=217.0 Torr

Total pressure of the system = P = 263.0 Torr

P=p_1'+p_2'+p_3'

263.0Torr=13.2 Torr+p_2'+217.0 Torr

p_2'=32.8 Torr

PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

At initail

(13.2) Torr     (32.8) Torr                        (13.2) Torr

At equilbriumm

(13.2-x) Torr     (32.8-x) Torr                        (217.0+x) Torr

K_p=\frac{p_3'}{p_1'\times p_2'}

1.245=\frac{(217.0+x)}{(13.2-x)(32.8-x)}

Solving for x;

x = 6.402 Torr

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished:

p_1'=(13.2-x) Torr=(13.2-6.402) Torr=6.798 Torr

p_2'=(32.8-x) Torr=(32.8-6.402) Torr=26.398 Torr

p_3'=(217.0+x) Torr=(217+6.402) Torr=223.402 Torr

Question 4, can you give me the rule for naming these?
Scorpion4ik [409]

3 ethyl, 4 methylheptane. The compound is named by first identifying the longest carbon chain in the structure. in this case the chain has seven carbon atoms thus the prefix hept-.

Next you identify the substituent groups attached to the long carbon chain and name them from the lowest value of the integer assigned to the carbon atoms from either side. From the right, the ethyl group is attached to carbon number 3 while from the left, the methyl group is attached to carbon number 4. We therefore start with the right and name the attached groups first, including the carbon atoms to which they are attached.

Then we also take into consideration the highest number of bonds between the carbon atoms which is one from the question. Thus the suffix -ane is added if a maximum of one bond, -ene,if two bonds and -yne if three bonds.

According to each substances heat of fusion, which of the items below requires more heat to be added per gram of substance to go
alexira [117]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Silver.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Specific heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance to 1°C. It is generally expressed in kJ/mol

We are required to find the substance which require more heat. For that we need to know the specific heat of all the substances.

The substance which have the highest specific heat, will require more heat.

The specific heat of the given substances are:

Silver = 11.3 kJ/mol

Sulfur = 1.7175 kJ/mol

Water = 5.98 kJ/mol

Lead = 4.799 kJ/mol

The specific heat of silver is the highest and hence, will require more heat.

Hence, the correct answer is silver.
