Answer: [N2]₀ = 10M and [H2]₀ = 11M
Explanation: To calculate the initial concentration, you would have to set up an ICE table, which is an organized way of tracking known quantities or the ones you want to find. ICE stands for:
I is initial amount;
C is change in concentration;
E is for equilibrium concentration;
For the mixture,
N2 3H2 2NH3
I [N2]₀ [H2]₀ 0
C - x -3x +2x
E [N2]₀ - x =8 [H2]₀ - 3x =5 2x =4
With the product, we can find "x":
2x=4
x=2M
With x=2, find the concentrations:
[N2]₀ - x = 8
[N2]₀ = 10M
[H2]₀ - 3x = 5
[H2]₀ = 11M
The initial concentrations of nitrogen gas [N2] is 10.0 M and of hydrogen gas [H2] is 11.0 M.
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on the information's provided, the answer can be easily deduced.
V1 = 25 ml
= 25/1000 liter
= 0.025 liter
V2 = 18 ml
= 18/1000 liter
= 0.018 liter
M2 = 1.0 M
M1 = ?
Then
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = M2V2/V1
= (1 * 0.018)/0.025
= 0.72 M
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.
The particles can move around each other because they do not have as strong bonds as solids do.
