$\huge \mathrm{ \underline{Answer} ࿐}$

The correct option is B.

A Catalyst is a chemical which promotes or speed up a chemical reaction without undergoing any chemical reaction itself.

for example : potassium permanganate - Hydrogen peroxide will decompose into water and oxygen gas in the presence of KMnO4.

After mixing the solutions in a separatory funnel, the stopper should be ________and the liquid should be ________and the layers

sdas [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The separation technique is used for separating immiscible liquids.

When separating, the stopper has to be removed when draining the lower layer so as to prevent a vacuum. If vacuum is allowed, the draining rate will reduce and stop.

The liquid should be mixed by shaking the funnel and then opening the stopcock so as the vent out gases.

When near interface between the layers, you should set your eye level so that you do not drain up to the second layer.

After completely draining the first layer, the second layer should be collected in a new flask.

After mixing the solutions in a separatory funnel, the stopper should be removed and the liquid should be mixed thoroughly and the layers allowed to separate. When you get close to the interface between the layers, get eye level with the funnel and slow the draining until the first layer is collected. Switch to a new flask to collect the second layer.

If a system has a reaction quotient of 2.13 ✕ 10−15 at 100°C, what will happen to the concentrations of COBr2, CO, and Br2 as th

qaws [65]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Consider the following equilibrium at 100°C.

$COBr_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Br_2(g)$

$K_c=4.74\times 10^4$

Concentration at equilibrium:

$[COBr_2]=1.58\times 10^{-6}M$

$[Co]=2.78\times 10^{-3}M$

$[Br_2]=2.51\times 10^{-5}M$

If a system has a reaction quotient of 2.13 × 10⁻¹⁵ at 100°c, what will happen to the concentrations of COBr₂, Co and Br₂ as the reaction proceeds to equilibrium?

Answer : The concentrations of Co and Br₂ decreases and the concentrations of COBr₂ increases.

Explanation :

Reaction quotient (Q) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$COBr_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Br_2(g)$

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q=\frac{[CO][Br_2]}{[COBr_2]}$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

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

$Q=\frac{(2.78\times 10^{-3})\times (2.51\times 10^{-5})}{(1.58\times 10^{-6})}=4.42\times 10^{-2}$

The given equilibrium constant value is, $K_c=4.74\times 10^4$

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When $Q>K_c$ that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When $Q$ that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When $Q=K_c$ that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

From the above we conclude that, the $Q$ that means product < reactant. So, the reaction is product favored that means reaction must shift to the product (right) to be in equilibrium.

Hence, the concentrations of Co and Br₂ decreases and the concentrations of COBr₂ increases.
