Answer:

balanced in ACID not BASE

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Answer

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Explanation:

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq)

add H^1+ (acid) to capture the O and make 7 water molecules

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) + H^1+ ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Cr goes from +6 to +3 by gaining 3 e

Hg goes from 0 to +2 by losing 2 e

we need 3 Hg for every 2 Cr

so

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

2 Cr on the right and left

Net 12 positive charges on the right and the left

3 Hg on the right and left

14 H on the right and left

the equation is balanced

we cannot balance the equation in a basic solution with OH^1-

we have plenty of O in the dichromate ion. we need to convert it to water which take free H^1+ from the acid

Damm [24]

Answer : The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Explanation :

The partial pressure of HBr = 1.0\times 10^{-2}atm

The partial pressure of H_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

The partial pressure of Br_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

K_p=4.2\times 10^{-9}

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                                2HBr(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+Br_2(g)

Initial pressure    1.0×10⁻²       2.0×10⁻⁴      2.0×10⁻⁴

At eqm.            (1.0×10⁻²-2p)   (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)  (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)

The expression of equilibrium constant K_p for the reaction will be:

K_p=\frac{(p_{H_2})(p_{Br_2})}{(p_{HBr})^2}

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

4.2\times 10^{-9}=\frac{(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)}{(1.0\times 10^{-2}-2p)^2}

p=-1.99\times 10^{-4}

The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium = (2.0×10⁻⁴+(-1.99×10⁻⁴) )= 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Therefore, the partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

How would you prepare 2.5 L of a 0.800M solution of KNO3?
statuscvo [17]
First  find the mass of <span>solute:

Molar mass KNO</span>₃ = <span>101.1032 g/mol

mass =  Molarity * molar mass * volume

mass = 0.800 * 101.1032 * 2.5

mass = 202.2064 g of KNO</span>₃

<span>To prepare 2.5 L (0800 M) of KNO3 solution, must weigh 202.2064 g of salt, dissolve in a Beker, transfer with the help of a funnel of transfer to a volumetric flask, complete with water up to the mark, capping the balloon and finally shake the solution to mix.</span>

hope this helps!
