Answer:

Due to an electron-pair acceptor and donor.

Explanations:

Lewis acid can be defined as an electron-pair acceptor. An example is Hydrogen ion(H+). This is because it is a proton and it distributes positive charge which means that it accepts electrons(negative charge).

Lewis base can be defined as an electron-pair donor. This is because it donates electrons to be accepted by the proton. An example is ammonia(NH3).

How many grams are in a sample of 0.55 mol of K?

Katyanochek1 [597]

The equation you use here is
mass =moles x Mr

So:
Moles of K - 0.55mol
Mr of K - 39.1

Mass= 0.55x39.1 =21.505g

Consider the following system at equilibrium where H° = 111 kJ/mol, and Kc = 6.30, at 723 K.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

1) The value of Kc:

C. remains the same.

2) The value of Qc:

A. is greater than Kc.

3) The reaction must:

B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium.

4) The concentration of N2 will:

B. decrease.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by means of the Le Chatelier's principle which is based on the shift a chemical reaction could have under some modifications, we have:

1) The value of Kc:

C. remains the same, since it just depend the reaction's thermodynamics as it is computed via:

$ln(K)=\frac{\Delta _RG}{RT}$

2) The value of Qc:

A. is greater than Kc, since the reaction quotient is:

$Qc=\frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}$

Thus, the lower the concentration of ammonia, the higher Qc, making Qc>Kc.

3) The reaction must:

B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium, since ammonia was withdrawn and should be regenerated to reach the equilibrium.

4) The concentration of N2 will:

B. decrease, since less reactant is forming the products.

Best regards.

Explanation:

1. Have many moons:

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the biggest in the Solar System and it has fifty-three moons which are confirmed and twenty-six provisional moons and totally it has seventy-nine moons and it is the only planet which has many moons.

2. Have a rocky composition:

The planets which have rocky composition are also called the terrestrial planets.
The planets which have rocky composition are listed below mercury, venus, earth, and mars and they are smaller in size.

3. Revolve quickly around the Sun:

Mercury is the quickest planet, which rushes around the sun at 47.87 km/s. And it revolves around the sun quickly.

4. Rotate quickly on their axes:

The giant gas planets like Jupiter, Saturn, etc... spin more quickly on their axes than the other planets

How many grams is 4.2X10^24 atoms of sulfur?

ipn [44]

First find the number of moles of sulfur using dimensional analysis with avogadro’s number as the conversion factor. 4.2*10^24 atoms * (1 mol/6.022*10^23 atoms) = 7.0 mol sulfur. The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol, which is found on the periodic table as sulfur’s (S) atomic weight. Use dimensional analysis again with the molar mass of sulfur as the conversion factor. 7.0 mol * 32.06 g/mol = 224.42 g sulfur. Since the problems gives us two significant figures, round the mass of sulfur to 220 grams, or 2.2 * 10^2 g.
