A scientific law is a statement that is universally accepted and answers the "how?" question.

Hope this helps!

Suppose that some FeSCN2+ is added to the above solution to shift the equilibrium. When equilibrium is re-established, the follo

kiruha [24]

Explanation:

The given reaction equation will be as follows.

$[FeSCN^{2+}] \rightleftharpoons [Fe^{3+}] + [SCN^{-}]$

Let is assume that at equilibrium the concentrations of given species are as follows.

$[Fe^{3+}] = 8.17 \times 10^{-3}$ M

$[SCN^{-}] = 8.60 \times 10^{-3}$ M

$[FeSCN^{2+}] = 6.25 \times 10^{-2}$ M

Now, first calculate the value of $K_{eq}$ as follows.

$K_{eq} = \frac{[Fe^{3+}][SCN^{-}]}{[FeSCN^{2+}]}$

= $\frac{8.17 \times 10^{-3} \times 8.60 \times 10^{-3}}{6.25 \times 10^{-2}}$

= $11.24 \times 10^{-4}$

Now, according to the concentration values at the re-established equilibrium the value for $[FeSCN^{2+}]$ will be calculated as follows.

$K_{eq} = \frac{[Fe^{3+}][SCN^{-}]}{[FeSCN^{2+}]}$

$11.24 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{8.12 \times 10^{-3} \times 7.84 \times 10^{-3}}{[FeSCN^{2+}]}$

$[FeSCN^{2+}] = 5.66 \times 10^{-2}$ M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of $[FeSCN^{2+}]$ in the new equilibrium mixture is $5.66 \times 10^{-2}$ M.

K for enolization of 2,4-cyclohexadienone is about 1013. Explain why the enol is so much more stable than the keto tautomer.

torisob [31]

Answer:

Because the value of K is huge.

Explanation:

The tautomer is a kind of isomer in which exist an equilibrium between a ketone and an enol, or between an aldehyde and an enol. So, in the enolization, the ketone is the reactant and the enol is the product.

The equilibrium reaction can be characterized by an equilibrium constant, which is the ratio of the concentration of the products by the concentration of the reactants.

Because the constant K is extremely large (10¹³) we can conclude that the concentration of the product will be greater than the concentration of the reactant, in the equilibrium. It means that the concentration of the enol will be greater.

So, the ketone is unstable and forms in a great amount the more stable product, the enol.

What is the vapor pressure of an aqueous solution made up of 60.0g of urea (CH4N2O) in 180g of water? the vapor pressure of wate

djyliett [7]

To get the answer you use the Law of Raoult.

Raoult's law states that the decrease of the vapor pressure of a liquid is proportional to the molar fraction of the solute.

ΔP = Pa * Xa

Here Pa = 0.038 atm

And Xa = N a / (Na + Nb), where Na is number of moles of A and Nb is number of moles of b

Na = mass of urea / molar mass of urea = 60 g / (molar mass of CH4N2O)

molar mass of CH4N2O = 12 g/mol + 4*1g/mol + 2*14 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 60 g/mol

Na = 60 g / 60 g/mol = 1 mol

Nb = mass of water / molar mass of water = 180g / 18g/mol = 10 mol

Xa = 1 mol / (10 mol + 1 mol) = 1/11 =0.09091

ΔP = Pb * Xa = 0.038 atm * 0.09091 = 0.0035 atm

Then, the final vapor pressure of water is Pb - ΔP = 0.038atm - 0.0035atm = 0.035 atm.

Answer: 0.035 atm
