If the equilibrium constant of the reaction is 0.85, then which statement is true if the mass of A is 10.5 grams; the density of

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

E. Q < K and reaction shifts right

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

A(s) + 3 B(l) ⇄ 2(aq) + D(aq)

Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient (Q)

The reaction quotient, as the equilibrium constant (K), only includes aqueous and gaseous species.

Q = [C]² × [D]

Q = 0.64² × 0.38

Q = 0.15

Step 3: Compare Q with K and determine in which direction will shift the reaction

Since Q < K, the reaction will shift to the right to attain the equilibrium.

In Part III, the phenolphthalein indicator is used to monitor the equilibrium shifts of the ammonia/ammonium ion system. The phe

AnnZ [28]

The pink color in the solution fades. Some of the colored indicator ion converts to the colorless indicator molecule.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the initial color of the solution?

$\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ is a salt soluble in water. $\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ dissociates into ions completely when dissolved.

$\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} \; (aq)\to {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \; (aq) +{\text{Cl}}^{-} \; (aq)$ .

The first test tube used to contain $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ . $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ is a weak base that dissociates partially in water.

$\text{NH}_4\text{OH} \; (aq) \rightleftharpoons {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \;(aq)+ {\text{OH}}^{-} \; (aq)$ .

There's also an equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions.

${\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)$ .

$\text{OH}^{-}$ ions from $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ will shift the equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ to the right and reduce the amount of ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ in the solution.

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions along with the colored indicator ions. The solution will show a pink color.

What's the color of the solution after adding NH₄Cl?

Adding $\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ will add to the concentration of ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ ions in the solution. Some of the ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ ions will combine with $\text{OH}^{-}$ ions to produce $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$ .

The equilibrium between $\text{OH}^{-}$ and ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ ions will shift to the left to produce more of both ions.

${\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)$

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the left as the concentration of ${\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+}$ increases. There will be less colored ions and more colorless molecules in the test tube. The pink color will fade.

When a mercury-202 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, a proton is ejected. What element is formed?

Galina-37 [17]

That will make a gold-202 nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.

Step One: Bombard the $\displaystyle ^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ with a neutron $^{1}_{0}n$ . The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of $^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ . However, the atomic number will stay the same.

New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
Atomic number is still 80.

$^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} + ^{1}_{0}n \to ^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ .

Double check the equation:

Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

Step Two: The $^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ nucleus loses a proton $^{1}_{1}p$ . Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.

New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.

Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.

$^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} \to ^{202}_{\phantom{2}79}\text{Au} + ^{1}_{1}p$ .

Double check the equation:

Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

A gold-202 nucleus is formed.
