Answer:
3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy
Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2
Explanation:
The equation for the formation of magnesium phosphide from its elements is;
3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy
Hence we can see that three moles of magnesium atoms combines with two moles of phosphorus atoms to yield one mole of magnesium phosphide. The equation written above is the balanced chemical reaction equation for the formation of the magnesium phosphide.
The equilibrium expression for the reaction K(eq) will be given by;
Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2
Answer:
When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises. When a substance is cooled, it loses thermal energy, which causes its particles to move more slowly and its temperature to drop.
Answer is: a) is has increased.
There are two types of reaction:
1) endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases).
For example, the breakdown of ozone is an endothermic process. Ozone has lower energy than molecular oxygen (O₂) and oxygen atom, so ozone need energy to break bond between oxygen atoms.
2) exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).
For example, ΔH(reaction) = -225 kJ/mol; this is exothermic reaction.
Answer:
Explanation:
If the reaction is really exothermic (and it is) then the water would spatter all over the place. It would boil off if the container could hold it. It would also react according to the following reaction.
You are talking about a reaction like
2K + 2HOH = 2KOH + H2
Answer:
d. why matter exists
Explanation:
The kind of questions that chemistry CANNOT answer is "why matter exists".
In Chemistry, question of how the properties, composition and structure of substances are is answered. Also, the transformations that these substances undergo, and the energy that they release or absorbe during the transformation processes are revealed in chemistry.
Chemistry can answer the question of what forms of matter exists but cannot answer why matter actually exists.
