Answer:
Explanation:
Bisulphate ion is a weak acid as it can form hydronium ion in water .
HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄⁻² + H₃O⁺
The equilibrium constant of this reaction is very small , hence bisulphate ion is very weak acid.
<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of the coffee is 43.9°C
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the final temperature, we use the equation:
where,
q = heat released = 
m = mass of water = 10.0 grams
C = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C
= final temperature = ?
= initial temperature = 20°C
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the final temperature of the coffee is 43.9°C
Answer:
The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol
Temperature = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 Kelvin
The initial pressures are:
pH2 = 3.10 atm
pI2 = 1.5 atm
pHI 1.75 atm
<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate ΔG
ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q
with ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol
with R = 8.3145 J/K*mol
with T = 298 Kelvin
Q = the reaction quotient → has the same expression as equilibrium constant → in this case Kp = [p(HI)]²/ [p(H2)] [p(I2)]
with pH2 = 3.10 atm
pI2 = 1.5 atm
pHI 1.75 atm
Q = (3.10²)/(1.5*1.75)
Q = 3.661
ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q
ΔG = 2600 J/mol + 8.3145 J/K*mol * 298 K * ln(3.661)
ΔG =5815.43 J/mol = 5.815 kJ/mol
To be spontaneous, ΔG should be <0.
ΔG >>0 so the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.
In an endothermic reaction products are <u>HIGHER </u>than reactants in potential energy and <u>LESS </u>stable.
Explanation:
Energy is input into the reaction in an endothermic reaction. This means the products are of a higher energy level than the reactants. Therefore the reaction increases Gibb's free energy and reduces entropy. Remember in thermodynamic stability involves an increase in entropy and a decrease in Gibbs free energy. Therefore the products are less stable than the reactants. This is why endothermic reactions do not occur spontaneously like exothermic reactions.
An ideal gas differs from a real gas in that the molecules of an ideal gas have no attraction for one another.
An ideal gas is defined as one in which collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly elastic and in which there are no inter-molecular attractive forces. A real gas on the other hand is a gas that does not behave as an ideal gas due to interactions between gas molecules. Particles in a real gas have a real volume since real gases are made up of molecules or atoms that typically take up some space even though they are extremely small.
