Answer:

Choice d. No effect will be observed as long as other factors (temperature, in particular) are unchanged.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a reaction does not depend on the pressure. For this particular reaction, the equilibrium quotient is:

Q = \displaystyle \frac{[\mathrm{SO_2\, (g)}]}{[\mathrm{O_2\, (g)}]}.

Note that the two sides of this balanced equation contain an equal number of gaseous particles. Indeed, both [\mathrm{SO_2\, (g)}] and [\mathrm{O_2\, (g)}] will increase if the pressure is increased through compression. However, because \rm SO_2\, (g) and \rm O_2\, (g) have the same coefficients in the equation, their concentrations are raised to the same power in the equilibrium quotient Q.

As a result, the increase in pressure will have no impact on the value of Q\!. If the system was already at equilibrium, it will continue to be at an equilibrium even after the change to its pressure. Therefore, no overall effect on the equilibrium position should be visible.

Phosphorous pentoxide, P2O5(s), is produced from the reaction between pure oxygen and pure phosphorous (P, solid). What is the v
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

4190.22 L = 4.19 m³.

Explanation:

  • For the balanced reaction:

<em>2P₂ + 5O₂ ⇄ 2P₂O₅. </em>

It is clear that 2 mol of P₂ react with <em>5 mol of O₂ </em>to produce <em>2 mol of P₂O₅.</em>

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 6.92 kilograms of P₂O₅ produced through the reaction:

no. of moles of P₂O₅ = mass/molar mass = (6920 g)/(283.88 g/mol) = 24.38 mol.

  • Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to produce the proposed amount of P₂O₅:

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

5 mol of O₂ is needed to produce → 2 mol of P₂O₅, from stichiometry.

??? mol of O₂ is needed to produce → 24.38 mol of P₂O₅.

∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (5 mol)(24.38 mol)/(2 mol) = 60.95 mol.

  • Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 606.1 mm Hg/760 = 0.8 atm).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = ??? L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 60.95 mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (396.90°C + 273 = 669.9 K).

∴ V of oxygen needed = nRT/P = (60.95 mol)(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(669.9 K)/(0.8 atm) = 4190.22 L/1000 = 4.19 m³.

What is the name for a substance made of billions of oppositely charged ions<br> joined together?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Ionic substance

Explanation:

An ionic substance is formed when oppositely charged ions link up to form an infinitely large lattice structure that can only be described in terms of unit cells.

Ionic substances may consist of billions of oppositely charged ions. Ionic substances are hard, have high melting and boiling points and do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are not free in the solid state.

However, in solution or molten state, the substance conducts electricity since the ions which are the charge carriers are now mobile.
