Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

Un mol de amoniaco Tiene una masa molar de 17 g y ocupa un volumen de 22.4 l qué volumen ocupa el 50 g amoniaco en condiciones n

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

V = 65.81 L

Explanation:

En este caso, debemos usar la expresión para los gases ideales, la cual es la siguiente:

PV = nRT (1)

Donde:

P: Presion (atm)

V: Volumen (L)

n: moles

R: constante de gases (0.082 L atm / mol K)

T: Temperatura (K)

De ahí, despejando el volumen tenemos:

V = nRT / P (2)

Sin embargo como estamos hablando de condiciones normales de temperatura y presión, significa que estamos trabajando a 0° C (o 273 K) y 1 atm de presión. Lo que debemos hacer primero, es calcular los moles que hay en 50 g de amoníaco, usando su masa molar de 17 g/mol:

n = 50 / 17 = 2.94 moles

Con estos moles, reemplazamos en la expresión (2) y calculamos el volumen:

V = 2.94 * 0.082 * 273 / 1

What factors affect the dynamic state of equilibrium in a chemical reaction and how?

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Only changes in temperature will influence the equilibrium constant $K_c$ . The system will shift in response to certain external shocks. At the new equilibrium $Q$ will still be equal to $K_c$ , but the final concentrations will be different.

The question is asking for sources of the shocks that will influence the value of $Q$ . For most reversible reactions:

External changes in the relative concentration of the products and reactants.

For some reversible reactions that involve gases:

Changes in pressure due to volume changes.

Catalysts do not influence the value of $Q$ . See explanation.

Explanation:

$\displaystyle K_c = {e}^{\Delta G/(R\cdot T)}$ .

Similar to the rate constant, the equilibrium constant $K_c$ depends only on:

$\Delta G$ the standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction, and
$T$ the absolute temperature (in degrees Kelvins.)

The reversible reaction is in a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. Reactants are constantly converted to products; products are constantly converted back to reactants. However, at equilibrium $Q = K_c$ the two processes balance each other. The concentration of each species will stay the same.

Factors that alter the rate of one reaction more than the other will disrupt the equilibrium. These factors shall change the rate of successful collisions and hence the reaction rate.

Changes in concentration influence the number of particles per unit space.
Changes in temperature influence both the rate of collision and the percentage of particles with sufficient energy of reaction.

For reactions that involve gases,

Changing the volume of the container will change the concentration of gases and change the reaction rate.

However, there are cases where the number of gases particles on the reactant side and the product side are equal. Rates of the forward and backward reaction will change by the same extent. In such cases, there will not be a change in the final concentrations. Similarly, catalysts change the two rates by the same extent and will not change the final concentrations. Adding noble gases will also change the pressure. However, concentrations stay the same and the equilibrium position will not change.
