Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
When sodamide reacts with methanol, the following equilibrium is set up;
CH3OH(aq) + NH2-(aq) ⇄ CH3O-(aq) + NH3(aq)
In the reaction, the sodamide acts as a base that abstracts a proton from methanol to yield the conjugate base of methanol which is the methoxide ion.
The forward reaction is favoured at equilibrium.

Answer:
Kp = \frac{P(NH_{3}) ^{4} P(O_{2}) ^{5}}{P(NO) ^{4} P(H_{2}O)^{6}}
Explanation:
First, we have to write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. Nitrogen monoxide (NO) reacts with water (H₂O) to give ammonia (NH₃) and oxygen (O₂), according to the following:
NO(g) + H₂O(g) → NH₃(g) + O₂(g)
To balance the equation, we add the stoichiometric coefficients (4 for NH₃ and NO to balance N atoms, then 6 for H₂O to balance H atoms and then 5 for O₂ to balance O atoms):
4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g) → 4 NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g)
All reactants and products are in the gaseous phase, so the equilibrium constant is expressed in terms of partial pressures (P) and is denoted as Kp. The Kp is expressed as the product of the reaction products (NH₃ and O₃) raised by their stoichiometric coefficients (4 and 5, respectively) divided into the product of the reaction reagents (NO and H₂O) raised by their stoichiometric coefficients (4 and 6, respectively). So, the pressure equilibrium constant expression is written as follows:
<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.
This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.
The chemical equation for the reaction of elemental boron and oxygen gas follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
4 moles of elemental boron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of diboron trioxide.
The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and water follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of diboron trixoide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 2 moles of boric acid.
Hence, the chemical equations are written above.
