Klio2033 [76]3 years ago

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is a measure of the relative amount of products and reagents present in a reaction at any given time, which is calculated in a reaction that may not yet have reached equilibrium.

For the reversible reaction aA + bB⇔ cC + dD, where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation, Qc is calculated by:

Qc=\frac{[C]^{c}*[D]^{d}  } {[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}}

In this case:

Qc=\frac{[H_{2} ]*[I_{2} ] } {[HI]^{2}}

Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you have:

  • [H_{2} ]=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}=2.09*10⁻² \frac{moles}{liter}
  • [I_{2} ]=\frac{4.14*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}=4.14*10⁻² \frac{moles}{liter}
  • [I_{2} ]=\frac{0.280 moles}{1 Liter}= 0.280 \frac{moles}{liter}

So,

Qc=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} *4.14*10^{-2}  } {0.280^{2} }

Qc= 0.011

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.

If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.

If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

Being Qc=0.011 and Kc=1.80⁻²=0.018, then Qc<Kc. <u><em>The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.</em></u>

When hydrogen sulfide gas is bubbled into a solution of sodium hydroxide, the reaction forms sodium sulfide and water. How many
Mumz [18]

Answer:

1.61 g Na₂S

Explanation:

To find the mass of sodium sulfide (Na₂S) generated from hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), you need to (1) construct the balanced chemical equation, then (2) calculate the molar masses of each molecule involved, then (3) convert grams of each reagent to grams of the product (via the molar masses and mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (4) determine the limiting reagent and final answer. It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator).

(Step 1)

The unbalanced equation:

H₂S + NaOH ---> Na₂S + H₂O

Reactants: 3 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 1 sodium, 1 oxygen

Products: 2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium, 1 oxygen

The balanced equation:

H₂S + 2 NaOH ---> Na₂S + 2 H₂O

Reactants: 4 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium 2 oxygen

Products: 4 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium, 4 oxygen

(Step 2)

Molar Mass (H₂S): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 32.065 g/mol

<u>Molar Mass (H₂S)</u>: 34.081 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaOH): 22.990 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol

<u>Molar Mass (NaOH)</u>: 39.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (Na₂S): 2(22.990 g/mol) + 32.065 g/mol

<u>Molar Mass (Na₂S)</u>: 78.045 g/mol

(Step 3)

1.50 g H₂S          1 mole            1 mole Na₂S          78.045 g
-----------------  x  ----------------  x  --------------------  x  -----------------  =
                           34.081 g          1 mole H₂S            1 mole

=  3.43 g Na₂S

1.65 g NaOH           1 mole              1 mole Na₂S          78.045 g
--------------------  x  ----------------  x  -----------------------  x  ----------------  =
                              39.998 g        2 moles NaOH          1 mole

=  1.61 g Na₂S

(Step 4)

Because NaOH generates less product, it will run out before all of the H₂S is used. This makes NaOH the limiting reagent and the final answer 1.61 grams Na₂S.

Explain why CaCl2 is likely to have properties similar to those of CaBr2
qaws [65]

Answer:

Because both CaCl2 and CaBr2 both contain elements (Chlorine and Bromine) from the same group (group 7)

Explanation:

Elements are placed into different groups in the periodic table. Elements in the same group are those that have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell and as a result will behave similar chemically i.e. will react with other elements in the same manner.

Chlorine and Bromine are two elements belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. They are called HALOGENS and they have seven valence electrons in their outermost shell. Hence, when they form a compound with Calcium, a group two element, these compounds (CaCl2 and CaBr2) will possess similar properties because they have elements that are from the same group (halogen group).
