Answer: The equilibrium constant, $K_c$ , for the reaction is 0.061.

Explanation:

Initial concentration of $PCl_5$ = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}\times Volume in L}}=\frac{12.3g}{208.2g/mol\times 1.50L}=0.039M$

Equilibrium concentration of $PCl_5$ = $\frac{31.8}{100}\times 0.039=0.012M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.039 M 0 M 0 M

At eqm. conc. (0.039-x) M (x) M (x) M

Given : (0.039-x) = 0.012

x = 0.027

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[Cl_2]\times [PCl_3]}{[PCl_5]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$K_c=\frac{0.027\times 0.027}{0.012}=0.061$

The equilibrium constant, $K_c$ , for the reaction is 0.061.

When the surface water temperature is still well below the water boiling temperature, some bubbles at the bottom tend to float u

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The reasons why the seemingly floating bubbles disappear was that they tend to loss their latent heat to the water molecules at the surface water.

Explanation:

Heat energy has a considerable effect on the velocity of molecules including water. The water molecules below the container will receive much more heat energy than those above it. This heat energy in the form of specific heat capacity and latent heat that result in the increase in the speed of individual molecules of water and finally to the escape of the molecules to a colder region of the container, in this case the upper region. At the collision of the bottom water to the surface water, they tend to exchange their heat content, the hotter molecules will lose their heat to the cold ones. When the formerly hot molecules encounter this, it will result in lowering the temperature and consequentially to the reduction of their movement, once in the form of bubble, now become ordinary water. This convectional transfer of heat energy will continue until the whole system has a uniform temperature depending on the consistency of the heat source.

What is the conjugate acid in the following equation:

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

HNO₂

Explanation:

An acid is a proton donor; a base is a proton acceptor.

Thus, NO₂⁻ is the base, because it accepts a proton from the water.

H₂O is the acid, because it donates a proton to the nitrite ion.

The conjugate base is what's left after the acid has given up its proton.

The conjugate acid is what's formed when the base has accepted a proton.

NO₂⁻/HNO₂ make one conjugate acid/base pair, and H₂O/OH⁻ are the other conjugate acid/base pair.

NO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HNO₂ + OH⁻

base acid conj. conj.

Determine the molar mass of a 0.458-gram sample of gas having a volume of 1.20 l at 287 k and 0.980 atm. group of answer choices

lilavasa [31]

Considering the ideal gas law and the definition of molar mass, the molar mass of the sample of gas is 9.17 $\frac{g}{mol}$ .

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P×V = n×R×T

where:

P is the gas pressure.
V is the volume that occupies.
T is its temperature.
R is the ideal gas constant. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.
n is the number of moles of the gas.

<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>

The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

<h3>Molar mass of the sample of gas</h3>

In this case you know:

P= 0.980 arm
V= 1.20 L
T= 287 K
R= 0.082 $\frac{atmL}{molK}$
n= ?

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

0.980 atm× 1.20 L= n× 0.082 $\frac{atmL}{molK}$ × 287 K

Solving:

(0.980 atm× 1.20 L)÷ (0.082 $\frac{atmL}{molK}$ × 287 K)= n

<u><em>0.04997 moles= n</em></u>

On the other hand, you know that the<u><em> mass of the sample of gas</em></u> is <u><em>0.458 grams</em></u>. Replacing in the definition of molar mass:

$molar mass=\frac{0.458 grams}{0.04997 moles}$
