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

concentrations are [PC15) = 0.20 M, [PC13] = 0.20 M, and (Cl21 = 2.5 M, in which direction will a reaction occur and why? A) toward products because Qc = 0.56 B) toward reactants because Qc = 2.5 C) toward products because Qc = 2.8 D) toward reactants because Qc = 0.0454 E) it is at equilibrium because Qc = 1

<u>Answer:</u> The reaction proceed toward reactants because Q_c is 2.5

<u>Explanation:</u>

K_c is the constant of a certain reaction at equilibrium while Q_c 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)

The expression of Q_c for above equation follows:

Q_c=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}

We are given:

[PCl_3]=0.20M

[Cl_2]=2.5M

[PCl_5]=0.20M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Q_c=\frac{0.20\times 2.5}{0.20}=2.5

We are given:

K_c=0.0454

There are 3 conditions:

  • When K_{c}>Q_c; the reaction is product favored.
  • When K_{c}; the reaction is reactant favored.
  • When K_{c}=Q_c; the reaction is in equilibrium.

As, Q_c>K_c, the reaction will be favoring reactant side.

Hence, the reaction proceed toward reactants because Q_c is 2.5

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)

The expression for Q is written as:

Q=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[[PCl_5]^1}

Q=\frac{0.20 M\times 2.5 M}{0.20 M}

Q=2.5

Given : K_{eq} = 0.0454

Thus as K_{eq}, the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.

What’s the answer to this
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

B and D as well

Explanation:

All the electronic configuration of the elements of B end on s sub shell.

S energy level sub shell can hold 2 electrons and since Be, Mg, Ca Sr end in s.

We can say, they have same valence electrons, i.e 2 electrons.
