Answer:

Water acts as a solvent of carbon dioxide excreted from tissues, in blood and helps in regulating pH (because it forms carbonic acid that lowers pH when it tends to get higher). Blood pH should be maintained at about 7.4. One major reason is that the structure of protein is dependent ton pH because pH determines its ionization hence also affecting the charges and interaction between side groups of amino acids. A change in pH may, therefore, denature proteins and negatively affect cellular functions.

Consider a balloon with volume V. It contains n moles of gas and has an internal pressure of P. The temperature of the gas is T.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.6 V.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n is constant, and have different values of P, V and T:

(P₁V₁T₂) = (P₂V₂T₁).

V₁ = V, P₁ = P, T₁ = T.

V₂ = ??? V, P₂ = 1.25 P, T₂ = 0.75 T.

∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁) = (P)(V)(0.75 T)/(1.25 P)(T) = 0.6 V.

If Kc = 4.0×10−2 for PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)⇌PCl5(g) at 520 K , what is the value of Kp for this reaction at this temperature?

Flauer [41]

Here we have to get the $K_{p}$ of the reaction at 520 K temperature.

The $K_{p}$ of the reaction is 1.705 atm

We know the relation between $K_{p}$ and $K_{c}$ is $K_{p}=K_{c}(RT)^{N}$ , where $K_{p}$ = The equilibrium constant of the reaction in terms of partial pressure, $K_{c}$ = The equilibrium constant of the reaction in terms of concentration and N = number of moles of gaseous products - Number of moles of gaseous reactants.

Now in this reaction, PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅

Thus number of moles of gaseous product is 1, and number of moles of gaseous reactants are 2. Thus N = |1 - 2| = 1 mole

The given value of $K_{c}$ is 4.0×10⁻²

The molar gas constant, R = 0.082 L. Atm. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ and temperature, T = 520 K.

On plugging the values in the equation we get,

$K_{p} = 4.0 X 10^{-2}(0.082X520)^{1}$

Or, $K_{p}$ = 1.705 atm

Thus, the $K_{p}$ of the reaction is 1.705 atm

Use MO diagrams to place B2+, B2, and B2- in order of (a) decreasing bond energy; (b) decreasing bond length.

shepuryov [24]

We use the MO diagram for a homonuclear diatomic species (since C and N are neighbours, we treat them as the "same").

The first two electrons contribute to bonding. The next two are anti-bonding.

The next six contribute to bonding, and the following six are anti-bonding.

So, if we start with CN+, which has 4+5-1 (8) valence electrons, we note that the first two electrons contribute to bonding, while the next two cancel this out; the next four contribute to bonding, so the bond order is 4/2 = 2.

If we add one more electron to get CN, there are now 5 bonding electrons, giving bond order 5/2=2.5.

Adding one more to give CN- would give the bond order 6/2 = 3. (If we added more electrons, each one would lower the bond order.)

Given a series of molecules with identical skeletal structures, the one with the highest bond order has the highest bond energy:

CN+ < CN < CN-

Lewis structures will verify that CN- has a triple bond, but they do not work particularly well for CN+ and CN.
