A container has a mixture of NO2 gas and N2O4 gas in equilibrium. The chemical reaction between the two gases is described by th

e equation 2NO2 ⇌ N2O4. The partial pressure of NO2 is 61.2 MPa and the partial pressure of N2O4 is 38.8 MPa. Several weights are added to the lid of the container, increasing the total pressure on the container to 200 MPa. What are the most likely partial pressures when equilibrium is established again?3.

Answer: The most likely partial pressures are 98.7MPa for NO₂ and 101.3MPa for N₂O₄

Explanation: To determine the partial pressures of each gas after the increase of pressure, it can be used the equilibrium constant Kp.

For the reaction 2NO₂ ⇄ N₂O₄, the equilibrium constant is:

Kp = \frac{P(N_{2}O_{4} )}{P(NO_{2} ^{2}) }

where:

P(N₂O₄) and P(NO₂) are the partial pressure of each gas.

Calculating constant:

Kp = \frac{38.8}{61.2^{2} }

Kp = 0.0104

After the weights, the total pressure increase to 200 MPa. However, at equilibrium, the constant is the same.

P(N₂O₄) + P(NO₂) = 200

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - P(NO₂)

Kp = \frac{P(N_{2}O_{4} )}{P(NO_{2} ^{2}) }

0.0104 = \frac{200 - P(NO_{2})  }{[P(NO_{2} )]^{2}}

0.0104[P(NO_{2} )]^{2} + P(NO_{2} ) - 200 = 0

Resolving the second degree equation:

P(NO_{2} ) = \frac{-1+\sqrt{9.32} }{0.0208}

P(NO_{2} ) = 98.7

Find partial pressure of N₂O₄:

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - P(NO₂)

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - 98.7

P(N₂O₄) = 101.3

The partial pressures are P(NO_{2} ) = 98.7 MPa and P(N₂O₄) = 101.3 MPa

He (Helium) is _________ atomic molecule.
babunello [35]

Answer:

Monatomic molecule

Explanation:

Each helium atom has 2 electrons, which is already the maximum no. of electrons that can fit in the first electron shell. When the outermost electron shell is full (2 for the first layer, 8 for others), the atom is stable.

Helium atom itself is already stable, so it doesn't need to combine with another helium atom to form a molecule, hence we call it monatomic.

[E_{free}]                  |                                 |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme[ES] is mathematically represented as

                   [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where [S] is the substrate concentration and K_M is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement [S] < < K_M

  Looking at the equation [S] is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to K_M)  hence the above equation becomes

               [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}

Since [S] is less than K_M it means that \frac{[S]}{K_M}  < < 1

so it means that [ES] < < [E_{total}]

  What this means is that the  number of combined enzymes[ES] i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites [E_{total}]  i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [E_{free}]  i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to [E_{total}]

Considering the second statement

      [S] = K_M

So  this means that equation one would now become

           [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

      [S] >>K_M

In this case the K_M in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

       [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

 The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

             v =\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M [S]}

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and V_{max}  is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the K_M at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

                v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{[S]} = V_{max}

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing [E_{total}] will lower K_M

This is because K_M does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme

Which statement correctly explains how magnesium and chlorine combine to form magnesium chloride?
AysviL [449]
You did not include the statements but since magnesium chloride is ionic substance that we know that magnesium and chlorine formed an ionic bond.  Therefore your statement most likely will talk about how one magnesium atom gave up 2 electrons while two chlorine atoms took 1 electron.  The reaction looks like Mg+2Cl⇒MgCl₂.  
I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
