Ok first, we have to create a balanced equation for the dissolution of nitrous acid.
HNO2 <-> H(+) + NO2(-)
Next, create an ICE table
HNO2 <--> H+ NO2-
[]i 0.139M 0M 0M
Δ[] -x +x +x
[]f 0.139-x x x
Then, using the concentration equation, you get
4.5x10^-4 = [H+][NO2-]/[HNO2]
4.5x10^-4 = x*x / .139 - x
However, because the Ka value for nitrous acid is lower than 10^-3, we can assume the amount it dissociates is negligable,
assume 0.139-x ≈ 0.139
4.5x10^-4 = x^2/0.139
Then, we solve for x by first multiplying both sides by 0.139 and then taking the square root of both sides.
We get the final concentrations of [H+] and [NO2-] to be x, which equals 0.007M.
Then to find percent dissociation, you do final concentration/initial concentration.
0.007M/0.139M = .0503 or
≈5.03% dissociation.
In an electrically neuteral atom, number of protons = number of electrons = atomic number.
Mass number = neutrons + protons/electrons/atomic number
Therefore,
neutrons = mass number - <span>protons/electrons/atomic number
Neutrons = 33 - 15 = 18
The answer is thus B. But this is the solution and explanation along with it as proof.</span>
Answer:
The answer to your question is it is not at equilibrium, it will move to the products.
Explanation:
Data
Keq = 2400
Volume = 1 L
moles of NO = 0.024
moles of N₂ = 2
moles of O₂ = 2.6
Process
1.- Determine the concentration of reactants and products
[NO] = 0.024 / 1 = 0.024
[N₂] = 2/1 = 2
[O₂] = 2.6/ 1= 2.6
2.- Balanced chemical reaction
N₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2NO
3.- Write the equation for the equilibrium of this reaction
Keq = [NO]²/[N₂][O₂]
- Substitution
Keq = [0.024]² / [2][2.6]
-Simplification
Keq = 0.000576 / 5.2
-Result
Keq = 1.11 x 10⁻⁴
Conclusion
It is not at equilibrium, it will move to the products because the experimental Keq was lower than the Keq theoretical-
1.11 x 10⁻⁴ < 2400
