Answer:

Due to presence of a triple bond between the two N−atoms, the bond dissociation enthalpy (941.4 kJ mol

−1

) is very high. Hence, N

is the least reactive.

The equilibrium 2NO(g)+Cl2(g)⇌2NOCl(g) is established at 500 K. An equilibrium mixture of the three gases has partial pressures

QveST [7]

Answer:

For A: The $K_p$ for the given reaction is $4.0\times 10^1$

For B: The $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1642.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g)$

For A:

The expression of $K_p$ for the above reaction follows:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{NOCl})^2}{(p_{NO})^2\times p_{Cl_2}}$

We are given:

$p_{NOCl}=0.24 atm\\p_{NO}=9.10\times 10^{-2}atm=0.0910atm\\p_{Cl_2}=0.174atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(0.24)^2}{(0.0910)^2\times 0.174}\\\\K_p=4.0\times 10^1$

Hence, the $K_p$ for the given reaction is $4.0\times 10^1$

For B:

Relation of $K_p$ with $K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = $4.0\times 10^1$

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = 500 K

$\Delta ng$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-3=-1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.0\times 10^1=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{-1}\\\\K_c=\frac{4.0\times 10^1}{(0.0821\times 500)^{-1})}=1642$

Hence, the $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1642.

Food and medical procedures can expose people to radiation. Therefore, the effects of radiation from a nuclear power plant are n

iogann1982 [59]

False, the radiation from food and medical procedures have very little consequences. The radiation from a nuclear power plant can kill people which makes it a very large problem if not contained properly.

Label each carbon atom with the appropriate geometry. Bin 1 points to a carbon bonded to a double bonded carbon and single bonde

N76 [4]

Answer:

Bin 1 points to a carbon bonded to a double bonded carbon and single bonded to two hydrogens. --- trigonal planar, tetrahedral

Bin 2 points to a carbon double bonded to a carbon and single bonded to a carbon and one hydrogen.------- trigonal planar, tetrahedral

Bin 3 is a carbon single bonded to two carbons and single bonded to two hydrogens. ----- tetrahedral, tetrahedral

Bin 4 is the same as bin 3.--------tetrahedral, tetrahedral

Bin 5 is a carbon triple bonded to a carbon and single bonded to a carbon.---- linear, tetrahedral

Bin 6 is triple bonded to a carbon and single bonded to a hydrogen.---linear, tetrahedral

Explanation:

A single C-C or C-H bond is in a tetrahedral geometry, the carbon atom is bonded to four species with a bond angle of 109°.

A C=C bond is trigonal planar with a bond angle of 120°.

Lastly, a C≡C bond has a linear geometry with a bond angle of 180° between the atoms of the bond.

Which skier will have a greater potential energy? Justify your answer.

pochemuha

Answer: Skier 1 will have more potential energy because he is higher than skier 2

Explanation: Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or height.

P.E= $m\times g\times h$

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

h= height of body

Thus if the masses of two bodies are same, the one with greater height possess greater potential energy.
