answer is A
The kinetic theory is used to explain the behaviour of gases.
One of the assumptions states that "a gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving at different speeds".
Hello young fellow friend I think the anwser is (C)
Answer:
K = Ka/Kb
Explanation:
P(s) + (3/2) Cl₂(g) <-------> PCl₃(g) K = ?
P(s) + (5/2) Cl₂(g) <--------> PCl₅(g) Ka
PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) <---------> PCl₅(g) Kb
K = [PCl₃]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)
Ka = [PCl₅]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)
Kb = [PCl₅]/ ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])
Since [PCl₅] = [PCl₅]
From the Ka equation,
[PCl₅] = Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)
From the Kb equation
[PCl₅] = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])
Equating them
Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾) = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])
(Ka/Kb) = ([PCl₃] [Cl₂]) / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)
(Ka/Kb) = [PCl₃] / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)
Comparing this with the equation for the overall equilibrium constant
K = Ka/Kb
The correct answer is that last one
Stable if they have a full outer shell. 8 electrons in their outer shell
