Answer: By understanding conversion factors and how they are related to each other

Explanation:

Dimensional Analysis is a step by step approach to solving problems in Physics, Chemistry , and Mathematics. It involves having a clear knowledge and understanding to be able to convert a given unit to another in the same dimension using  conversion factors and knowing how they are related to each other.

For instance, In Chemistry, we want to Convert 120mL to L.(note that ml stands for millilitres and ;L stands for litres)

Or first approach will be to write out the conversion factor related to our problem which is

1000ml =1L

such that 120ml = (we cross multiply))

giving us  120ml x 1L/1000ml =0.12L

This same process is applied to convert any type of dimensional analysis problems be it physics or mathematics.

Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72

Explanation:

Equilibrium concentration of HNO_3 = \frac{15.5g}{63g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.026M

Equilibrium concentration of NO = \frac{16.6g}{30g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.058M

Equilibrium concentration of NO_2 = \frac{22.5g}{46g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.051M

Equilibrium concentration of H_2O = \frac{189.0g}{18g/mol\times 9.5L}=1.10M

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_c  

For the given chemical reaction:

2HNO_3(aq)+NO(g)\rightarrow 3NO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

The expression for K_c is written as:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^3\times [H_2O]^1}{[HNO_3]^2\times [NO]^1}

K_c=\frac{(0.051)^3\times (1.10)^1}{(0.026)^2\times (0.058)^1}

K_c=3.72

Thus  the value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72

B. The highly toxic gas phosgene is produced by the reaction CO(g) + Cl2(g) COCl2(g), ΔH = –108 kJ/mol. Use this reaction to ans
galben [10]

Answer:

I. Increasing pressure will allow more frequent successful collision between particles due to the particles being closer together.

II. Rate of reaction increases due to more products being made; as increased pressure favours the exothermic side of the equilibrium.

III. Increasing temperature provides particles lots of (Kinetic) energy, for more frequent successful collision due to the particles moving at a faster rate than before. However, favouring the endothermic side of the equilibrium due to lots of energy required to break and form new bonds.

IV. Rate of reaction increases due to increase temperature favouring both directions of the equilibrium - causing products to form faster.

Hope this helps!

HELP!!!!!!PLZ!!!!!ASAP!!!!!

It is an open series circuit and this is why:
 
its obvious its a series circuit because all the symbols are in a straight rectangle. 
its an open circuit because an open circuit has something that doesn't allow the electrons to flow all the way. and the thing blocking the electrons it the switch which is open, (off).

Hope this helped!! sorry its late!!
