Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction below, if 0.208 moles of sulfur dioxide gas, 0.208 moles o

f oxygen gas and 0.425 moles of sulfur trioxide gas are present in a 1.50-liter reaction vessel at equilibrium.
2SO2(g) +O2 (g) <--> 2SO3 (g)

A. Kc=3.32 x 10^-2
B. Kc=2.01 x 10^1 (I know for a fact this one is wrong.)
C. Kc=2.98 x 10^1
D. Kc=1.47 x 10^1

Please help!

First, we convert the moles of each substance into the concentration using the volume of the reactor.
[SO₃] = 0.425/1.5 = 0.283 M
[SO₂] = 0.208 / 1.5 = 0.139 M
[O₂] = 0.208/1.5 = 0.139 M
The equilibrium constant is calculated by:
Kc = [SO₃]² / [O₂][SO₂]²
Kc = (0.283)²/(0.139)(0.139)²
Kc = 29.8 = 2.98 x 10¹

The answer is C

Briefly describe the action of hardwater with soap​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - hard water reacts to form the calcium or magnesium salt of the organic acid of the soap.

Explanation:

Soaps are made up of fatty acids or oils by treating with strong alkali and are salts of sodium and potassium. Hard water, on the other hand, has a high concentration of minerals in comparison to soft water. When hard water and soap are mixed together the salts of the minerals like Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions present in hard water react with fatty acids of the soap.

The sodium salts are changed to the salts of calcium and magnesium which are precipitated to an insoluble substance. The insoluble salts of the calcium or magnesium dirt stick on the clothes thus cleaning ability of soap is reduced.

What is the meaning of<br> 3 CO2 in a chemical reaction?
puteri [66]

Three is simply the coefficient which tells you the amount of molecules. In this case, there are three carbon dioxide molecules. If you want to break it down further, it also means there is three carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms.

I hope this helps.

What task can a cell NOT perform on its own?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Thought cannot be performed or produced by a cell as it is devoid of a capable nerve system and hence it does not get any information and thus cannot produce any thought.

MrRissso [65]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

The frequency factors for these two reactions are very close to each other in value. Assuming that they are the same, compute the ratio of the reaction rate constants for these two reactions at 25°C.

\frac{K_1}{K_2}=?

Activation energy of the reaction 1 ,Ea_1 = 14.0 kJ/mol

Activation energy of the reaction 2,Ea_1  = 11.9 kJ/mol

Answer:

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius equation,

K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

The expression used with catalyst and without catalyst is,

\frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_2}{RT}}}{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_1}{RT}}}

\frac{K_2}{K_1}=e^{\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}}

where,

K_2 = rate constant reaction -1

K_1 = rate constant reaction -2

Activation energy of the reaction 1 ,Ea_1 = 14.0 kJ/mol = 14,000 J

Activation energy of the reaction 2,Ea_1  = 11.9 kJ/mol = 11,900 J

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/ mol K

T = temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298 K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\frac{K_1}{K_2}=e^{\frac{11,900- 14,000Jl}{8.314 J/mol K\times 298 K}}=2.3340

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.
