Gala2k [10]

$\text{Ammonia has been studied as an alternative "clean" fuel for internal combustion}$

$\text{engines, since its reaction with oxygen produces only nitrogen and water vapor,}$

$\text{and in the liquid form it is easily transported. An industrial chemist studying this}$

$\text{reaction fills a} \ \mathbf{100 \ L }\ \text{tank with} \ \mathbf{8.6 \ mol} \ \text{of ammonia gas and} \ \mathbf{28 \ mol} \ \ \text{of oxygen gas, }$

$\text{to be} \ \mathbf{2.6\ mol} \ .\ \text{Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the combustion of}$

$\text{ammonia at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.}$

Answer:

Explanation:

From the correct question above:

The reaction can be represented as:

$\mathbf{4 NH_3_{(g)}+ 3O_{2(g)} \iff 2N_{2(g)}+ 6H_2O_{(g)} }$

From the above reaction; the ICE table can be represented as:

$\mathbf{4 NH_3_{(g)}+ 3O_{2(g)} \iff 2N_{2(g)}+ 6H_2O_{(g)} }$

I (mol/L) 0.086 0.28 0 0

C -4x -3x +2x +6x

E 0.086 - 4x 0.28 - 3x +2x +6x

At equilibrium;

The water vapor = $\dfrac{2.6 \ mol}{100 \ L} = 6x$

$x = \dfrac{2.6}{100} \times \dfrac{1}{6}$

$x = 0.00433$

$\text{equilibrium constant} ({k_c}) = \dfrac{ [N_2]^2 [H_2O]^6 }{ [[NH_3]^4] [O_2]^3 }$

$\implies \dfrac{(2x)^2 (6x)^6}{(0.086-4x)^4\times (0.28-3x)^3} \\ \\$

Replacing the value of x, we have:

$K_c = \dfrac{4 \times 46,656 \times x^8}{(0.086-4x)^4\times (0.28 -3x)^3} \\ \\ K_c = \dfrac{4 \times 46656 \times (0.00433)^8}{(0.06868)^4(0.26701)^3} \\ \\ K_c = \mathbf{5.4446 \times 10^{-8}}$

$K_c = \mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{-8} \ to \ 2 \ significant \ figures}$

Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C

Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation: The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

$CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}$

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.

CH3CO2H(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ CH3CO2-(aq) + H3O+(l)

Evgen [1.6K]

Correct Answer: Option C: The equilibrium position will shift to the right toward the products.

Reason:
1) This problem is based on Le Chatelier's principle. It is stated as 'any changes in the temperature, volume, or concentration of a system will result in predictable and opposing changes in the system in order minimize this change and achieve a new equilibrium state.'

2) In present case, the reaction involved is:
 CH3CO2H(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ CH3CO2-(aq) + H3O+(l)
Hence, when the concentration of acetic acid (reactant) is increased, the equilibrium will shift to right to minimize the effect of change in concentration of reactant.

Describe the difference beetween an extensive and intesive property

olasank [31]

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity.
