Answer:

hydronium and hydroxide ions are present both in pure water and in all aqueous solutions, and their concentrations are inversely proportional as determined by the ion product of water (Kw). The concentrations of these ions in a solution are often critical determinants of the solution’s properties and the chemical behaviors of its other solutes, and specific vocabulary has been developed to describe these concentrations in relative terms. A solution is neutral if it contains equal concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions; acidic if it contains a greater concentration of hydronium ions than hydroxide ions; and basic if it contains a lesser concentration of hydronium ions than hydroxide ions.

A sample of gas is in a sealed rigid cointaner that maintains a constant volume which changes occur between the gas particles wh

sashaice [31]

In the given situation, the gas is heated under constant volume. As energy is supplied to the system in the form of heat, the frequency of collision between the gas particles increases. This increases the temperature of the gas consequently bringing about a decrease in pressure.

Based on the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

Here, P/T = nR/V

If P1, T1 and P2, T2 are the pressure and temperature values before and after heating respectively, then since nR/V is a constant in this case, we have

P1/T1 = P2/T2 which is the Gay-Lussac's law.

Two reactions and their equilibrium constants are given. A + 2 B − ⇀ ↽ − 2 C K 1 = 2.79 2 C − ⇀ ↽ − D K 2 = 0.186 Calculate the

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

K=1.93

Explanation:

Given reactions are:

A +2B ⇄ 2C K1=2.79

2C ⇄ D K2=0.186

D⇄ A+ 2B K=?

If we reverse the reaction then the euillibrium constant also become reciprocal of original value:

3rd reaction is a combination of reciprocal of 1st and 2nd reaction

2C⇄A +2B 1/K1;........................1

D ⇄ 2C 1/K2; ..............................2

On adding 1 and 2

D ⇄A +2B $K=\frac{1}{K1} \times\frac{1}{K2};$

$K=\frac{1}{2.79} \times\frac{1}{0.186};$

K=1.93

Answer:

T2=324.29k

Explanation:

V1=3.4L T1=25+273=298k

V2=3.7L T2=?

V1 V2

---- = ----

T1 T2

T2= V2×T1/V1

T2=(3.7×298)/3.4

T2=324.29k
