Answer:

both bonding electrons come from the oxygen atom

Explanation:

A coordinate covalent bond is said to be formed when an electron pair is donated into a empty orbital of an atom from a filled orbital of another atom.

In this type of covalent bond, the shared electron pair is furnished by only one of the bonding species.

The bonding between H^+ and H2O to form H3O^+ involves donation of a lone pair of electrons on oxygen into the empty 1s orbital of H^+ hence the two bonding electrons come from oxygen. This is why the bond is called a coordinate covalent bond.

t 745 K, the reaction below has an equilibrium constant (Kc) of 5.00 × 102. H2 (g) + I2 (g) ⇌ 2 HI (g) If a mixture of 0.10 mol

spayn [35]

Answer : The concentration of HI (g) at equilibrium is, 0.643 M

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

$H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)$

Initial conc. 0.10 0.10 0.50

At eqm. (0.10-x) (0.10-x) (0.50+2x)

As we are given:

$K_c=5.00\times 10^2$

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

$K_c=\frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]}$

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

$5.00\times 10^2=\frac{(0.50+2x)^2}{(0.10-x)\times (0.10-x)}$

x = 0.0713 and x = 0.134

We are neglecting value of x = 0.134 because the equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.

Thus, we are taking value of x = 0.0713

The concentration of HI (g) at equilibrium = (0.50+2x) = [0.50+2(0.0713)] = 0.643 M

Thus, the concentration of HI (g) at equilibrium is, 0.643 M

What happens in a redox reaction?

amid [387]

Every redox reaction consists of two parts, the oxidation and the reduction. Each one separately is called a half - reaction. During the redox reaction there is a transfer of electrons from the substance being oxidized to the substance being reduced. In a voltaic cell, these reactions happen in separate vessels.
