What does a metal's position in an activity series indicate about the chemical properties of that particular metal?

1 answer:

3 0

The closer to the top the metal is in the list, the more active the metal is and the stronger a reducing agent the metal is. When two different metals are involved in a redox reaction, the metal higher in the list will be oxidized and give up electrons that will reduce the cation of the less active metal.

The equilibrium constant, Kc, is calculated using molar concentrations. For gaseous reactions another form of the equilibrium co

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Kp = 1.41 x 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

We have the chemical equation:

2 A(g) + 3 B(g)⇌ C(g)

In which A and B are the reactants and C is the product. We calculate first the change in the number of moles of gas (Δn or dn):

dn= (sum moles products - sum moles reactants)

= (moles C - (moles A + moles B))

= (1 - (2+3))

= 1 - 5

= -4

We have also the following data:

Kc = 63.2

T= 81∘C + 273 = 354 K

R = 0.082 L.atm/K.mol (it is a constant)

Thus, we introduce the data in the mathematical expression for the relation between Kp and Kc:

$Kc = (RT)^{dn}$ = (0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 354 K)⁻⁴ = 1.41 x 10⁻⁶

1.00 L of a gas at STP is compressed to 473mL. What is the new pressure of gas?

Ratling [72]

Hello!

1.00 L of a gas at STP is compressed to 473 mL. What is the new pressure of gas?

We have the following data:

Vo (initial volume) = 1.00 L

V (final volume) = 473 mL → 0.473 L

Po (initial pressure) = 1 atm (pressure exerted by the atmosphere - in STP)

P (final pressure) = ? (in atm)

We have an isothermal transformation, that is, its temperature remains constant, if the volume of the gas in the container decreases, so its pressure increases. Applying the data to the equation Boyle-Mariotte, we have:

$P_0*V_0 = P*V$

$1*1 = P*0.473$

$1 = 0.473\:P$

$0.473\:P = 1$

$P = \dfrac{1}{0.473}$

$\boxed{\boxed{P \approx 2.11\:atm}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\green{\checkmark}$

Answer:

The new pressure of the gas is 2.11 atm

A team of engineers is doing a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether

beks73 [17]

Answer:

1) The risk of high cost due to increased resource requirements

2) The risk of late entry into the (a changed) market

Explanation:

The analysis being performed by the engineers = A cost benefit analysis to determine if a new technology should be developed

A cost-benefit analysis is a process of appraising or measuring the advantages, benefits of a policy, action or decision, so as to find the (equilibrium) balance point between the costs of the decision or action

The risk to be considered are;

1) The risk of high cost due to increased resource requirements

The increased cost required for the development of the new technology now which due to the unlikely existence of a similar invention in the market that will give them an advantage of increased profits

2) The risk of late entry into the (a changed) market

The changes in the consumer preferences, market landscape, and the likely introduction into the market of a similar invention by the competition in the near future which will reduce the amount of profits that can be gained from the invention
