The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.

The equilibrium constant for the chemical equation is Kp = 5.23 at 191 °C. Calculate the value of the Kc for the reaction at 191

Lapatulllka [165]

To convert from Kp to Kc, you need this formula---> Kp= Kc (RT)^Δn, where Δn= gas moles of product- gas moles of reactants. since you did not give a reaction formula, I can't calculate Δn. but all once you find it out. just plug it.

Kp= Kc (RT)^Δn------------------> Kc= Kp/[(RT)^Δn]
Kp= 5.23
R= 0.0821
T= 191 C= 464 K
Δn= ?

Kc= 5.23/ (0.0821 x 464)^Δn= ???

In a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases, the mole fraction of nitrogen is 0.333. If the partial pressure of hydrogen in the

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$P_T=112.4torr$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these problems about gas mixtures are based off Dalton's law in terms of mole fraction, partial pressure and total pressure, we can write the following for hydrogen, we are given its partial pressure:

$P_{H_2}=x_{H_2}*P_T$

And can be solved for the total pressure as follows:

$P_T=\frac{P_{H_2}}{x_{H_2}}$

However, we first calculate the mole fraction of hydrogen by subtracting that of nitrogen to 1 due to:

$x_{H_2}+x_{N_2}=1\\\\x_{H_2}=1-0.333=0.667$

Then, we can plug in to obtain the total pressure:

$P_T=\frac{75.0torr}{0.667}\\\\P_T=112.4torr$

Regards!

The amount of energy required to heat water for a 10-minute shower (50 gallons) is 2.2125 kJ. How many calories is this

Alenkinab [10]

First, we convert the given amount of energy into joules.
1 kJ = 1000 joules
2.2125 kJ = 2,212.5 Joules

Each kilocalorie contains 4,184 Joules
Kilocalories = 2,212.5 / 4,182
Kilocalories = 0.529
1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

0.529 kilocalories = 529 calories

Another carbon isotope has six protons and seven neutrons in its nucleus. What do you think this carbon isotope is called?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Carbon - 13

Explanation:

For most of the elements other than that of hydrogen, the isotopes are named for the mass number.

Example : Carbon atoms with 6 neutrons have mass number of 12 ( as $6\ protons +6\ neutrons=12$ ), so they are known as carbon-12.
