Firlakuza [10]2 years ago

Answer:

The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles. Compressed gases are used in many situations.

Mazyrski [523]

Explanation:

It is mainly the very low density of gases that make them bad conductors of heat. In liquids and solids atoms and molecules are densely packed and transfer of energy has much smaller distances to happen.

A chemistry student must separate should barium sulfate from the aqueous solution. Equipment and glassware normally found in the
Elan Coil [88]
If there's just some barium put in an aqueous solution, then it should be something like this.
It's a mixture of a solution and an insoluble solid, so the easiest way to go is through filtration. (Also, I'm assuming the barium is cut into very small chips.)

In a line, simply filter the solution using a folded filter paper in a funnel, collect the residue in a beaker or flask, rinse it with distilled water and let it dry. (Or simply filtering it could be enough, depending on how far your teacher wants you to go.)

Stuff needed:
>filter paper (for separating the solid from the solution)
>funnel (to hold the filter paper)
>beaker or flask (to hold the filtrate)
>distilled water (to rinse the solid)
>spatula (to scoop up the solid)

Procedure:
>Fold filter paper and line the funnel with it. Place the funnel in the flask or beaker.
>Pour solution in. Then add water (I think using tap water might be fine in this case, but you can use distilled water if you'd like) to wash out the container with the solution of any solid you may have not gotten in the first try. Alternatively, you could use a spatula to spoon it onto the filter paper.
>Once everything has been filtered, pour some distilled water on the residue on the filter paper to wash away the solution.
>Take out the filter paper, open it up and let it dry.

This can be used in real life in many occasions. For example, when you make tea, you need to filter the leaves out. Or when you cook the pasta, you put it in a sieve to separate the pasta from the water. Or when you fish using fishing nets, you "filter" the fish from the water.

A sample of ammonia gas was allowed to come to equilibrium at 400 K. 2NH3(g) <---> N2(g) 3H2(g) At equilibrium, it was fou
Softa [21]

Answer:

Kc for this equilibrium is 2.30*10⁻⁶

Explanation:

Equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction and the concentrations of reactants and products are held constant.

Being:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

the equilibrium constant Kc is defined as:

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

In other words, the constant Kc is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. Kc is constant for a given temperature, that is to say that as the reaction temperature varies, its value varies.

In this case, being:

2 NH₃(g) ⇔ N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g)

the equilibrium constant Kc is:

Kc=\frac{[N_{2} ]*[H_{2} ]^{3}  }{[NH_{3} ]^{2} }

Being:

  • [N₂]= 0.0551 M
  • [H₂]= 0.0183 M
  • [NH₃]= 0.383 M

and replacing:

Kc=\frac{0.0551*0.0183^{3}  }{0.383^{2} }

you get:

Kc= 2.30*10⁻⁶

<u><em>Kc for this equilibrium is 2.30*10⁻⁶</em></u>
