Answer:

Kc = 0.0216

Explanation:

To do this, we need to write the equilibrium reaction which is the following:

NH3 + O2 <------> N2O4 + H2O

And now, let's balance the equation

4NH3 + 7O2 <--------> 2N2O4 + 6H2O

The general expression for Kc is:

Kc = [N2O4]²[H2O]⁶ / [O2]⁷[NH3]⁴

Now, in order to know the concentrations, we need to do an ICE chart here, so we can know the final concentrations of all species here:

4NH3 + 7O2 <--------> 2N2O4 + 6H2O

I: 3.6 3.6 0 0

C: -4x -7x +2x +6x

E: 3.6 - 4x 3.6 - 7x 0.6 +6x

According to this, we know that N2O4 is 0.6M, but in the change we have that it gained 2x so the value of x will be:

2x = 0.6

x = 0.6/2 = 0.3

Therefore, the value of x is 0.3 ans we can know now the concentrations of all species in equilibrium, and then, the kc:

[NH3] = 3.6 - 4(0.3) = 2.4 M

[O2] = 3.6 - 7(0.3) = 1.5 M

[H2O] = 6(0.3) = 1.8 M

Now the value of Kc would be:

Kc = (0.6)² (1.8)⁶ / (2.4)⁴ (1.5)⁷

Kc = 0.0216

My professor gave me two questions to solve using the Van Der Waals Equation. She told us to solve for P and the second one we h

Fed [463]

Answer:

P=atm

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

Explanation:

The problem give you the Van Der Waals equation:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})(V-nb)=nRT$

First we are going to solve for P:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})=\frac{nRT}{(V-nb)}$

$P=\frac{nRT}{(V-nb)}-\frac{n^{2}a}{v^{2}}$

Then you should know all the units of each term of the equation, that is:

$P=atm$

$n=mol$

$R=\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}$

$a=atm\frac{L^{2}}{mol^{2}}$

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

$T=K$

$V=L$

where atm=atmosphere, L=litters, K=kelvin

Now, you should replace the units in the equation for each value:

$P=\frac{(mol)(\frac{L.atm}{mol.K})(K)}{L-(mol)(\frac{L}{mol})}-\frac{(mol^{2})(\frac{atm.L^{2}}{mol^{2}})}{L^{2}}$

Then you should multiply and eliminate the same units which they are dividing each other (Please see the photo below), so you have:

$P=\frac{L.atm}{L-L}-atm$

Then operate the fraction subtraction:

P= $P=\frac{L.atm-L.atm}{L}$

$P=\frac{L.atm}{L}$

And finally you can find the answer:

P=atm

Now solving for b:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})(V-nb)=nRT$

$(V-nb)=\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}$

$nb=V-\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}$

$b=\frac{V-\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}}{n}$

Replacing units:

$b=\frac{L-\frac{(mol).(\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}).K}{(atm+\frac{mol^{2}.\frac{atm.L^{2}}{mol^{2}}}{L^{2}})}}{mol}$

Multiplying and dividing units,(please see the second photo below), we have:

$b=\frac{L-\frac{L.atm}{atm}}{mol}$

$b=\frac{L-L}{mol}$

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

What is the fate of glucose 6‑phosphate, glycolytic intermediates, and pentose phosphate pathway intermediates in this cell? Gly

madreJ [45]

Answer:

The Phosphorylated glucose(glucose +inorganic phosphate), with the energy supplied from ATP hydrolysis formed glucose 6- phosphate, which is later converted to 2 molecules of fructose 6-phosphate- this is phosphorylation.And represented the fate of glucose -6-phosphate.

The fructose 6-phosphate are converted to triose phosphate- which is a 2-molecules of 3C compound. The latter is oxidized by NAD→ NADH+ to form intermediates in the glycolytic pathways .

These intermediates are converted to ribose 5-phosphates in the presence of transketolase and transaldolase enzymes.And they are finally converted to pyruvate in the glycolytic pathway with the production of 2ATPs per molecule of glucose.

Basically the phosphate pathway reaction is very slow due to enzyme catalysis.

How may a substance be tested to determine whether or not it is an element

yaroslaw [1]

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
