Answer:

The amount of calcium carbonate will increase.

Explanation:

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

  • K>Q , reaction will move forward by making more product.
  • K<Q , reaction will move backward by making more reactant.

CaCO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons CaO(s) + CO_2(g)

Equilibrium constant of the reaction = K_{eq}=0.0108

Concentration of CaO=\frac{15.0 g}{56 g/mol\times 10.0L}=0.027 M

Concentration of CO_2=\frac{4.25 g}{44 g/mol\times 10.0L}=0.0096 M

Concentration of CaCO_3=\frac{15.0 g}{100 g/mol\times 10.0L}=0.015 M

Q=\frac{[CaO][CO_2]}{[CaCO_3]}

=\frac{0.027 mol/L\times 0.0096 mol/L}{0.015 mol/L}=0.0174

K_{eq}

This means that equilibrium will move in backward direction by which amount of calcium carbonate will increase.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1.84 L

Explanation:

Using the equation for reversible work:

W = -P*(V_{2} - V_{1})

Where:

W is the work done (J) = -287 J.

Since the gas did work, therefore W is negative.

P is the pressure in atm = 1.90 atm.

However, work done is in joules and pressure is in atm. We can use the values of universal gas constant as a convenient conversion unit. R = 8.314 J/(mol*K);  R = 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)

Therefore, the conversion unit is 0.0821/8.314 = 0.00987 (L*atm)/J

V_{1} is the initial volume = 0.350 L

V_{2} is the final volume = ?

Thus:

(-287 J)*0.00987 (L*atm)/J = -1.9 atm*(V_{2} - 0.350) L

V_{2} = [(287*0.00987)+(1.9*0.350)]/1.9 = (2.833+0.665)/1.9 =1.84 L

The law of conservation in mass
Anon25 [30]
The Law of Conservation of Mass dates from Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 discovery that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. ... If we account for all reactants and products in a chemical reaction, the total mass will be the same at any point in time in any closed system.

A rotameter calibration curve (flow rate versus float position) obtained using a liquid is mistakenly used to measure a gas flow
Veronika [31]

Answer:

I would expect the gas rate determined in this manner to be too low

Explanation:

A Rotameter can be designed to respond to the sensitivity of density, velocity, to measure the flow rate of liquid or gas enclosed in a tube. Liquids are denser than gas, and since the gas rate to be determined needed to respond to the velocity head alone of the rotameter so as to bring the forces in the tube equilibrium. Knowing if there is no flow, then the float would remain at the bottom, so gas has to flow at a higher rate compared to the liquid so the float would be in a similar position making it easier to measure the flowrate. This leaves the gas rate to be determined too low.

it takes 513 kj to remove a mole of electrons from the atoms at the surface of a piece of metal. how much energy does it take to
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The right solution is "8.5\times 10^{-19} \ joule".

Explanation:

As we know,

1 mole electron = 6.023\times 10^{23} \ no. \ of \ electrons

Total energy = 513 \ KJ

                     = 513\times 1000 \ joule

For single electron,

The amount of energy will be:

= \frac{513\times 1000}{(6.023\times 10^{23})}

= 8.5\times 10^{-19} \ joule

Why is not used at nuclear plant as a soverce for electrical energy
nikitadnepr [17]
The biggest reason is radioactive wastes. Nuclear power generated radioactive wastes like Uranimum, plutonium and amercium that inhibits gene expression and causes cancer to the environment. Nuclear plants use to release these wastes into the oceans, and it causes fishes to exhibit gender change, 3 eyes, 2 tails etc. The impact on human shows signs of serious blood, liver and lung cancers. 

There are currently no way to get rid of these wastes as they take hundred thousands of years to decompose. 

Another reason is they cause a small amount of green gas emission. Releases CO2 to the sky. They exhibit radioactive gas emission as well (causes cancer) .
