A reaction A(aq)+B(aq)↽−−⇀C(aq) has a standard free‑energy change of −4.20 kJ/mol at 25 °C. What are the concentrations of A, B,

Dafna1 [17]

Answer : The concentration of $A,B\text{ and }C$ at equilibrium are 0.132 M, 0.232 M and 0.168 M respectively.

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is,

$A(aq)+B(aq)\rightleftharpoons C(aq)$

First we have to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard free‑energy is:

$\Delta G^o=-RT \ln k$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard free‑energy change = -4.20 kJ/mole

R = universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

k = equilibrium constant = ?

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

Now put all the given values in the above relation, we get:

$-4.20kJ/mole=-(8.314J/mole.K)\times (298K) \ln k$

$k=5.45$

Now we have to calculate the concentrations of A, B, and C at equilibrium.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$A(aq)+B(aq)\rightleftharpoons C(aq)$

Initially 0.30 0.40 0

At equilibrium (0.30-x) (0.40-x) x

The expression of equilibrium constant will be,

$k=\frac{[C]}{[A][B]}$

$5.45=\frac{x}{(0.30-x)\times (0.40-x)}$

By solving the term x, we get

$x=0.168\text{ and }0.716$

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 0.716 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 0.716 is not consider.

The value of x will be, 0.168 M

The concentration of $A$ at equilibrium = (0.30-x) = 0.30 - 0.168 = 0.132 M

The concentration of $B$ at equilibrium = (0.40-x) = 0.40 - 0.168 = 0.232 M

The concentration of $C$ at equilibrium = x = 0.168 M

In a chemical equation, which symbol should be used to indicate that a substance is in solution?

lisov135 [29]

Example :

$2FeCl_3_{(aq)}+2KI_{(aq)}=2FeCl2_{(aq)}+2KCl_{(aq)}+I_2_{(s)}$

If you use the subscript (aq) (=aquaris) , this means that the substance is in a solution.

Subscripts:
-aq-this means that the substance is in a solution
-s-this means that the substance is a solid(or precipitate)
-l-this means that the substance is a liquid
-g-this means that the subtance is a gas

The value of h for the reaction below is -73 kj how many kj of heat are released

jarptica [38.1K]

If the value of H is positive, it means you have to add that much heat to complete the reaction. If H is negative, it means that much heat is released during the chemical process. Because it is -73 kJ, 73 kJ of heat are released in the reaction.

The density of octane is 0.700 g/cm3. What is the mass of one liter of octane?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

m = 700 g

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

Density of octane = 0.700 g/cm³

Volume = 1 L

Mass = ?

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

First of all we will convert the volume in cm³ because density is given in g/cm³ unit.

1 L = 1000 cm³

Now we will put the values in formula:

d= m/v

m = v × d

m = 1000 cm³ × 0.700 g/cm³

m = 700 g
