How many particles are in 4g of NaCl? (1mol of NaCl = 58g) – 2 step conversion

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

4.16 * 10²⁴ particles

Explanation:

1. We convert from grams to moles

4 g NaCl / 58 g of NaCl = 0.0689655172 moles

-> 0.0690 moles

2. Now we will convert from moles to particles by multiplying by avogadro's number..

0.0690 * 6.022 *10²³ = 4.15518 * 10²⁴ particles or 4.16 * 10²⁴ particles

In the coal-gasification process, carbon monoxide is converted to carbon dioxide via the following reaction: CO (g) + H2O (g) ⇌

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: Equilibrium constant is 0.70.

Explanation:

Initial moles of $CO$ = 0.35 mole

Volume of container = 1 L

Initial concentration of $CO=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.35moles}{1L}=0.35M$

Initial moles of $H_2O$ = 0.40 mole

Volume of container = 1 L

Initial concentration of $H_2O=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.40moles}{1L}=0.40M$

equilibrium concentration of $CO=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.18moles}{1L}=0.18M$ [/tex]

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.35 M 0.40M 0 0

At eqm. conc. (0.35-x) M (0.40-x) M (x) M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[CO_2]\times [H_2O]}{[CO]\times [H_2O]}$

$K_c=\frac{x\times x}{(0.40-x)(0.35-x)}$

we are given : (0.35-x)= 0.18

x = 0.17

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$K_c=\frac{0.17\times 0.17}{(0.40-0.17)(0.35-0.17)}$

$K_c=0.70$

Thus the value of the equilibrium constant is 0.70.

Explain how the heat and phase changes affects the environment? Give examples.<br>(5-7 sentences)

NeX [460]

Energy is required to change the phase of a substance, such as the energy to break the bonds between molecules in a block of ice so it may melt.
During a phase change energy my be added or subtracted from a system, but the temperature will not change. The temperature will change only when the phase change has completed. No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings. Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart so that the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature.
