Answer:

Copper

Explanation:

In 2017, USA is fourth largest producer of copper in the whole world. The first three are Chile, China and Peru. Copper mining has been a major industry in USA since 1840s. In 2017 it produced 1.27 million metric tonne copper. Aluminum is another element produced in USA. In 2014, it was sixth largest Aluminum producer in the world.

Mercury has not been produced in USA since 1992. Although USA is a big consumer of diamonds, very few diamonds are produced here.

.500 mol of br2 and .500 mol of cl2 are placed in a .500L flask and allowed to reach equilibrium. at equilibrium the flask was f

Tasya [4]

Answer : The value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is, 0.36

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$Br_2(aq)+Cl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons 2BrCl(aq)$

The expression of $K_c$ will be,

$K_c=\frac{[BrCl]^2}{[Br_2][Cl_2]}$

First we have to calculate the concentration of $Br_2,Cl_2\text{ and }BrCl$ .

$\text{Concentration of }Br_2=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1M$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1M$

$\text{Concentration of }BrCl=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.300mol}{0.500L}=0.6M$

Now we have to calculate the value of $K_c$ for the given reaction.

$K_c=\frac{[BrCl]^2}{[Br_2][Cl_2]}$

$K_c=\frac{(0.6)^2}{(1)\times (1)}$

$K_c=0.36$

Therefore, the value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is, 0.36

What is the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula

ipn [44]

Answer: $C_2H_2O_2$

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

The empirical formula is $CHO$

The empirical weight of $CHO$ = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

The molecular weight = 60 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{60}{29}=2$

The molecular formula will be= $2\times CHO=C_2H_2O_2$

Thus molecular formula will be $C_2H_2O_2$

Balance the following half reaction in basic conditions. Then, indicate the coefficients for H2O and OH– for the balanced half r

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The ballance half reactions are:

Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Mg

6OH⁻ + Si → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

Coefficients for H2O and OH– are 3 for H₂O (in products side) and 6 for OH⁻ (in reactants side)

Explanation:

Si (s) + Mg(OH)₂ (s) → Mg (s) + SiO₃²⁻ (aq)

Let's see the oxidations number.

As any element in ground state, we know that oxidation state is 0, so Si in reactants and Mg in products, have 0.

Mg in reactants, acts with +2, so the oxidation number has decreased.

This is the reduction, so it has gained electrons.

Si in reactants acts with 0 so in products we find it with +4. The oxidation number increased it, so this is oxidation. The element has lost electrons.

Let's take a look to half reactions:

Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Mg

Si → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻

In basic medium, we have to add water, as the same amount of oxygen we have, IN THE SAME SIDE. We have 3 oxygens in products, so we add 3 H₂O and in the opposite site we can add OH⁻, to balance the hydrogen. The half reaciton will be:

6OH⁻ + Si → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

If we want to ballance the main reaction we have to multiply (x2) the half reaction of oxidation. So the electrons can be ballanced.

2Mg²⁺ + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

Now, that they are ballanced we can sum the half reactions:

2Mg²⁺ + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

6OH⁻ + Si → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

2Mg²⁺ + 4e⁻ + 6OH⁻ + Si → 2Mg + SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O
