An equilibrium mixture of PCl5(g), PCl3(g), and Cl2(g) has partial pressures of 217.0 Torr, 13.2 Torr, and 13.2 Torr, respective

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished:

$PCl_3,p_1'=6.798 Torr$

$Cl_2,p_2'=26.398 Torr$

$PCl_5,p_3'=223.402 Torr$

Explanation:

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

At equilibrium before adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the $PCl_3=p_1=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $Cl_2=p_2=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $PCl_5=p_3=217.0 Torr$

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

$K_p=\frac{p_1}{p_1\times p_2}$

$=\frac{217.0 Torr}{13.2 Torr\times 13.2 Torr}=1.245$

At equilibrium after adding chlorine gas:

Partial pressure of the $PCl_3=p_1'=13.2 Torr$

Partial pressure of the $Cl_2=p_2'=?$

Partial pressure of the $PCl_5=p_3'=217.0 Torr$

Total pressure of the system = P = 263.0 Torr

$P=p_1'+p_2'+p_3'$

$263.0Torr=13.2 Torr+p_2'+217.0 Torr$

$p_2'=32.8 Torr$

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

At initail

(13.2) Torr (32.8) Torr (13.2) Torr

At equilbriumm

(13.2-x) Torr (32.8-x) Torr (217.0+x) Torr

$K_p=\frac{p_3'}{p_1'\times p_2'}$

$1.245=\frac{(217.0+x)}{(13.2-x)(32.8-x)}$

Solving for x;

x = 6.402 Torr

The new partial pressures after equilibrium is reestablished:

$p_1'=(13.2-x) Torr=(13.2-6.402) Torr=6.798 Torr$

$p_2'=(32.8-x) Torr=(32.8-6.402) Torr=26.398 Torr$

$p_3'=(217.0+x) Torr=(217+6.402) Torr=223.402 Torr$

Why are isotopes with short half-lives not useful for dating very old rocks?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes within these brains typically record the ages of the grains-not the time when the sedimentary rock was formed, making it difficult to date using radiometric dating. The half-life of U-235 is 704 million years.

hope this helps but if i'm wrong then i'm sorry..

Compounds A, B, and C react according to the following equation. 3A(g) + 2B(g) 2C(g) At 100°C a mixture of these gases at equili

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The value of Kc for the reaction is 3.24

Explanation:

A reversible chemical reaction, indicated by a double arrow, occurs in both directions: reagents transforming into products ( direct reaction) and products transforming back into reagents (inverse reaction)

Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which direct and indirect reactions have the same reaction rate. Then taking into account the rate constant of a direct reaction and its inverse the chemical constant Kc is defined.

Being:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients, the equilibrium constant with the following equation:

$Kc=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} *[B]^{b} }$

Kc is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reagents also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Then, in the reaction 3A(g) + 2B(g) ⇔ 2C(g), the constant Kc is:

$Kc=\frac{[C]^{2} }{[A]^{3} *[B]^{2} }$
