Answer:

K = Ka/Kb

Explanation:

P(s) + (3/2) Cl₂(g) <-------> PCl₃(g) K = ?

P(s) + (5/2) Cl₂(g) <--------> PCl₅(g) Ka

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) <---------> PCl₅(g) Kb

K = [PCl₃]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Ka = [PCl₅]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

Kb = [PCl₅]/ ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Since [PCl₅] = [PCl₅]

From the Ka equation,

[PCl₅] = Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

From the Kb equation

[PCl₅] = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Equating them

Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾) = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

(Ka/Kb) = ([PCl₃] [Cl₂]) / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

(Ka/Kb) = [PCl₃] / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Comparing this with the equation for the overall equilibrium constant

K = Ka/Kb

A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be $(C_6H_{12}O)_n$

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.

12.00 moles of naclo3 will produce how many grams of O2? (Moles to Grams)

Sergeu [11.5K]

2NaClO₃ → 2NaCl + 3O₂

mole ratio of NaClO₃ to O₂ is 2 : 3

∴ if moles of NaClO₃ = 12 mol

then moles of O₂ = $\frac{12 mol * 3}{2}$

= 18 mol

Mass of O₂ = mol of O₂ × molar mass of O₂

= 18 mol × 16 g/mol

= 288 g

So I wasn't sure which equation to use since you did not specify so I just used the decomposition reaction. If you should have used another reaction then just follow the same steps and you'll get your answer.

calculate the volume that will be occupied by 350 ml of oxygen measured at 720 mm hg, when the pressure changed to 630 mm hg

likoan [24]

Answer:

406.45mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

V1 = 350mL

P1 = 720mmHg

P2 = 630mmHg

V2 =?

The new volume can be obtain as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

720 x 350 = 620 x v2

Divide both side by 620

V2 = (720 x 350) /620

V2 = 406.45mL

The new volume of the gas is 406.45mL
