The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

At a certain temperature, the equilibrium constant K_{eq} for the following reaction is 0.74:

NO_3(g)+NO(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

Suppose a 49.0 L reaction vessel is filled with 1.5 mol of NO_3 and 1.5 mol of NO. What can you say about the composition of the mixture in the vessel at equilibrium?  

A. There will be very little NO_3 and NO.

B. There will be very little NO_2

C. Neither of the above is true.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is B. there will be very little NO_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial moles of NO_3 = 1.5 moles

Initial moles of NO = 1.5 moles

Volume of vessel = 49 L

As, moles of reactants and moles of products are equal, the volume term will not appear in the equilibrium constant expression.

Equilibrium constant for the reaction = 0.74

For the given chemical equation:

                                  NO_3(g)+NO(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

Initial:                            1.5           1.5             -

At eqllm:                     1.5-x        1.5-x            2x

The expression of equilibrium constant for the above reaction:

K_{eq}=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[NO_3]\times [NO]}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.74=\frac{(2x)^2}{(1.5-x)(1.5-x)}\\\\x=-1.13, 0.451

Neglecting the negative value of equilibrium constant because concentration cannot be negative

Equilibrium concentration of NO_3 = (1.5 - x) = (1.5 - 0.451) = 1.049 moles

Equilibrium concentration of NO = (1.5 - x) = (1.5 - 0.451) = 1.049 moles

Equilibrium concentration of NO_2 = 2x = (2\times 0.451)=0.902mol

There are 3 possibilities:

  • If K_{eq}, the reaction is reactant favored
  • If K_{eq}>1, the reaction is product favored.
  • If K_{eq}=1, the reaction is in equilibrium.

Here, the value of K_{eq}=0.74, which is less than 1, therefore the reaction is reactant favored and we can say that there will be very little NO_2.

Hence, the correct option is B. there will be very little NO_2

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.

The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.

Is atomic weight a whole number or not a whole number
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Atomic mass of an element is not a whole number because It contains isotopes. For example, chlorine has two isotopes 1735Cl and 1737Cl with natural abundances in the approximate ratio of 3:1. Hence, the average atomic mass of chlorine is approximately 35.5 g/mol.
