Explain how the solubility of water is useful in maintaining various life processes.

1 answer:

3 0

Water's extensive capability to dissolve a variety of molecules has earned it the designation of “universal solvent,” and it is this ability that makes water such an invaluable life-sustaining force. On a biological level, water's role as a solvent helps cells transport and use substances like oxygen or nutrients.

Answer:

I. Increasing pressure will allow more frequent successful collision between particles due to the particles being closer together.

II. Rate of reaction increases due to more products being made; as increased pressure favours the exothermic side of the equilibrium.

III. Increasing temperature provides particles lots of (Kinetic) energy, for more frequent successful collision due to the particles moving at a faster rate than before. However, favouring the endothermic side of the equilibrium due to lots of energy required to break and form new bonds.

IV. Rate of reaction increases due to increase temperature favouring both directions of the equilibrium - causing products to form faster.

Hope this helps!

The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 5.10×10-6 at 548 K. NH4Cl(s) NH3(g) + HCl(g) Calculate the equilibri

levacccp [35]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of HCl is $2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of $NH_4Cl(s)$ = 0.564 moles

Volume of vessel = 1.00 L

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of $NH_4Cl=\frac{0.564}{1}=0.564M$

The given chemical equation follows:

$NH_4Cl(s)\rightleftharpoons NH_3(g)+HCl(g)$

Initial: 0.564

At eqllm: 0.564-x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=[NH_3][HCl]$

The concentration of pure solid and pure liquid is taken as 1.

We are given:

$K_c=5.10\times 10^{-6}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.10\times 10^{-6}=x\times x\\\\x=2.26\times 10^{-3}M,-2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Negative sign is neglected because concentration cannot be negative.

So, $[HCl]=2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of HCl is $2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Explain how there can be more heat energy in an iceburg than in a pot of boiling water

vlada-n [284]

Heat energy is the amount of heat there is in a substance. This may be cold heat or warm heat. Temperature is how hot or cold a substance is. So because there is a higher volume of heat in the iceberg, we say it has more heat energy.
