Consider the reaction below. At 500 K, the reaction is at equilibrium with the following concentrations. [PCI5]= 0.0095 M [PCI3]

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: The equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.0421.

Explanation:

$PCl_5\rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2$

Concentration of $[PCl_5]$ = 0.0095 M

Concentration of $[PCl_3]$ = 0.020 M

Concentration of $[Cl_2]$ = 0.020 M

The expression of the equilibrium constant is given as:

$K_c=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}=\frac{0.020 M\times 0.020 M}{0.0095 M}$

$K_c=0.0421$ (An equilibrium constant is an unit less constant)

The equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.0421.

Match the salt with the acid and base used to form it in a neutralizing reaction. K2SO4

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

KOH and H₂SO₄

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction:

It is the reaction in which acid and base react with each other and produce salt and water.

For example:

2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

1. Potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react to produce potassium sulfate salt and water.

2. Potassium hydroxide and phosphoric acid react to produce potassium phosphate and water.

H₃PO₄ + 3KOH → K₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

3. Phosphoric acid sodium hydroxide react to produce sodium phosphate and water.

H₃PO₄ + 3NaOH → Na₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

In the laboratory a student combines 26.2 mL of a 0.234 M chromium(III) acetate solution with 10.7 mL of a 0.461 M chromium(III)

Natalka [10]

Answer: The molarity of $Cr^{3+}$ ions in the solution is 0.299 M

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For chromium (III) acetate:

Molarity of chromium (III) acetate solution = 0.234 M

Volume of solution = 26.2 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.234=\frac{\text{Moles of chromium (III) acetate}\times 1000}{26.2}\\\\\text{Moles of chromium (III) acetate}=\frac{0.234\times 26.2}{1000}=0.00613mol$

1 mole of chromium (III) acetate $(Cr(CH_3COO)_3)$ produces 1 mole of chromium $(Cr^{3+})$ ions and 3 moles of acetate $(CH_3COO^-)$ ions

Moles of $Cr^{3+}\text{ ions}=(1\times 0.00613)=0.00613moles$

For chromium (III) nitrate:

Molarity of chromium (III) nitrate solution = 0.461 M

Volume of solution = 10.7 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.461=\frac{\text{Moles of chromium (III) nitrate}\times 1000}{10.7}\\\\\text{Moles of chromium (III) nitrate}=\frac{0.461\times 10.7}{1000}=0.00493mol$

1 mole of chromium (III) nitrate $(Cr(NO_3)_3)$ produces 1 mole of chromium $(Cr^{3+})$ ions and 3 moles of nitrate $(NO_3^-)$ ions

Moles of $Cr^{3+}\text{ ions}=(1\times 0.00493)=0.00493moles$

For chromium cation:

Total moles of chromium cations = [0.00613 + 0.00493] = 0.01106 moles

Total volume of solution = [26.2 + 10.7] = 36.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }Cr^{3+}\text{ cations}=\frac{0.01106\times 1000}{36.9}\\\\\text{Molarity of }Cr^{3+}\text{ cations}=0.299M/tex]Hence, the molarity of [tex]Cr^{3+}$ ions in the solution is 0.299 M
