Answer:

A. It is the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

This equilibrium constant can be expressed in many different formats.

For any system, the molar concentration of all the species on the right side are related to the molar concentrations of those on the left side by the equilibrium constant.
The equilibrium constant is a constant at a given temperature and it is temperature dependent.
The derivation of the equilibrium constant is based on the law of mass action.
It states that "the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentration of the reacting substances. "

By the reaction of carbon & oxygen , a mixture of CO &CO2 is obtained. What is the composition by mass of the mixture ob

Hatshy [7]

M(O₂)=20g
M(O₂)=32.0 g/mol
n(O₂)=20/32.0=0.625 mol

m(C)=12 g
M(C)=12.0 g/mol
n(C)=12/12.0=1.0 mol

2C + O₂ → 2CO
1 mol 0.625 mol 1 mol
0.625-0.5=0.125 mol

2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂
0.250 mol 0.125 mol 0.250 mol

n(CO)=1 mol - 0.250 mol = 0.750 mol
M(CO)=28.0 g/mol
m(CO)=0.750*28.0=21.0 g

n(CO₂)=0.250 mol
M(CO₂)=44.0 g/mol
m(CO₂)=0.250*44.0=11.0 g

Which of the following distance is the shortest 100 millimeters 1.0 centimeters 10 decimeters 0.0001 kilometers

olya-2409 [2.1K]

100 mm = 100/1000= .1 meters
1cm = 1/100 = .01m
10 decimeters = 10/10 = 1 meter
.0001 km = .0001*1000 = .1 meter
