Answer:

b) empty space

Explanation:

A mechanical cannot travel through empty space. So option (b) is correct.

A mechanical wave is a wave which needs a material medium for its propagation. For example sound, water waves etc . The medium required by the wave can be a solid, liquid or a gas. Empty space doesn't have any medium, so a mechanical wave cannot travel through empty space.

The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) is 49 at 230°C. If 0.70 mol of PCl3 is added to 0.70 mol

Ymorist [56]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 0.11 M

Solution :

First we have to calculate the concentration $PCl_3$ and $Cl_2$ .

$\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }PCl_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }Cl_2}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M$

The given equilibrium reaction is,

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

Initially 0.70 0.70 0

At equilibrium (0.70-x) (0.70-x) x

The expression of $K_c$ will be,

$K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}$

$K_c=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}$

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$49=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}$

By solving the term x, we get

$x=0.59\text{ and }0.83$

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 0.83 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 0.83 is not consider.

Thus, the concentration of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of $PCl_5$ at equilibrium = x = 0.59 M

Therefore, the concentration of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium is 0.11 M

I’m very confused on how to solve this

Bond [772]

Recall that density is Mass/Volume. We are given the mL of liquid which is volume so all we need is mass now. We are given the mass of the granulated cylinder both with and without the liquid, so if we subtract them, we can get the mass of the liquid by itself. So, 136.08-105.56= 30.52g. This is the mass of the liquid. We now have all we need to find the density. So, let’s plug these into the density formula. 30.52g/45.4mL= 0.672 g/mL. This is our final answer since the problem requests the answer in g/mL, but be careful, because some problems in the future may ask for g/L requiring unit conversions. Also note that 30.52 was 4 sigfigs and 45.4 was 3 sigfigs, and so dividing them required an answer that was 3 sigfigs as well, hence why the answer is in the thousandths place

How many moles of neon occupy a volume of 14.3 l at stp? how many moles of neon occupy a volume of 14.3 l at stp? 1.57 moles 0.6

andriy [413]

The number of neon moles that occupy a volume of 14.3 l at STP is calculated as follows

At STP 1 mole = 22.4 liters

what about 14.3 liters

by cross multiplication
= (1 mole x 14.3 l)/22.4 l =0.638 moles of neon
