Consider the isomerization of butane with equilibrium constant is 2.5 .The system is originally at equilibrium with :
[butane]=1.0 M , [isobutane]=2.5 M
If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what is the equilibrium concentration of each gas?
Answer:
The equilibrium concentration of each gas:
[Butane] = 1.14 M
[isobutane] = 2.86 M
Explanation:
Butane ⇄ Isobutane
At equilibrium
1.0 M 2.5 M
After addition of 0.50 M of butane:
(1.0 + 0.50) M -
After equilibrium reestablishes:
(1.50-x)M (2.5+x)
The equilibrium expression will wriiten as:
![K_c=\frac{[Isobutane]}{[Butane]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BIsobutane%5D%7D%7B%5BButane%5D%7D)
x = 0.36 M
The equilibrium concentration of each gas:
[Butane]= (1.50-x) = 1.50 M - 0.36M = 1.14 M
[isobutane]= (2.5+x) = 2.50 M + 0.36 M = 2.86 M
Answer:
6.68 X 10^-11
Explanation:
From the second Ka, you can calculate pKa = -log (Ka2) = 6.187
The pH at the second equivalence point (8.181) will be the average of pKa2 and pKa3. So,
8.181 = (6.187 + pKa3) / 2
Solving gives pKa3 = 10.175, and Ka3 = 10^-pKa3 = 6.68 X 10^-11
Elements of Group 1 and group 2 in the periodic
table contain elements so reactive that they are never found in the free state
<u>Explanation</u>:
The metals in group 1 of periodic table consisting of 'alkali metals' which include lithium, potassium, sodium, rubidium, Francium and caesium. They are highly reactive because they have low ionisation energy and larger radius. The group 2 metals consist of 'alkaline earth metals' which include calcium, strontium, barium, beryllium, radium and magnesium. These alkaline earth metal have +2 oxidation number, hence are highly reactive.
These both group metals are mostly reactive and so are never found in a free state. When they are exposed to air they would immediately react with oxygen. Hence, are stored in oils to avoid oxidation.
