Explain how the bonding model for sodium metal would differ from the bonding model for sodium chloride, NaCi

1 answer:

8 0

Sodium metal is quite reactive; sodium ions (as in NaCl) are quite unreactive. Cl^- ions are not reactive; they are stingily attracted to positive ions such as Na^+with which they form ionic bonds.

For the reaction PC15 (8) PC13 (g) + Cl2 (g) K = 0.0454 at 261 °C. If a vessel is filled with these gases such that the initial

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The $K_{eq}$ is samller than $Q$ of the reaction . So,the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{eq}$

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

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