Answer:
[HI] = 0.7126 M
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Kc = 54.3
Temperature = 703 K
Initial concentration of H2 and I2 = 0.453 M
Step 2: the balanced equation
H2 + I2 ⇆ 2HI
Step 3: The initial concentration
[H2] = 0.453 M
[I2] = 0.453 M
[HI] = 0 M
Step 4: The concentration at equilibrium
[H2] = 0.453 - X
[I2] = 0.453 - X
[HI] = 2X
Step 5: Calculate Kc
Kc = [Hi]² / [H2][I2]
54.3 = 4x² / (0.453 - X(0.453-X)
X = 0.3563
[H2] = 0.453 - 0.3563 = 0.0967 M
[I2] = 0.453 - 0.3563 = 0.0967 M
[HI] = 2X = 2*0.3563 = 0.7126 M
Answer is: B. Hydroxide ions.
An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
For example sodium hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Another example, balanced chemical reaction: Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq).
According to the Arrhenius definition barium hydroxide is base.
Acids and bases when react (neutralisation) produce salt and water.
The answer is (3) metallic. Cobalt is a transition metal, so it can't be covalent bonds, which bond non-metals, therefore eliminating choice 1 and 2. Ionic bonds are between metals and non metals, but solid cobalt does not have a non metal, eliminating choice 4 as well. Metallic bonds are bonds between metals, therefore the answer is (3) metallic.
