Answer:

Explanation:

1. Find the empirical formula of a compound that has 36% of Calcium (Ca), 64% of Chlorine (Cl).

2. Find molar mass of each component: Ca=40.078, Cl=35.453

3 Convert to moles: Ca=0.8982484155896, Cl=1.8052068936338

4 Find smallest mole value: 0.8982484155896

5 Divide all components by the smallest value: Ca=1, Cl=2.0096967189738

6 Round to closest whole numbers: Ca=1, Cl=2

7 Combine to get the empirical formula: CaCl2

The equilibrium-constant expression for a reaction written in one direction is the __________ of the one for the reaction writte

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

reciprocal

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant for an equilibrium reaction is the ratio of the equilibrium constant for the forward reaction, Kf, to the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction, Kr:

For A ⇄ B

The forward reaction is: A → B, with rate constant is Kf = K₁ and
The reverse reaction is: B → A, with rate constant Kr = K₂

$K_{eq}=\dfrac{K_f}{K_r}=\dfrac{K_1}{K_2}$

When you write the reaction in the other reaction, the forward and the reverse reaction are exchanged:

For B ⇄ A

The forward reaction is B → A, with rate constant Kf = K₂
The reverse reaction is A → B, with rate constant Kr = K₁

$K'_{eq}=\dfrac{K_f}{K_r}=\dfrac{K_2}{K_1}$

As you see:

$K'_{eq}=\dfrac{1}{K_{eq}}$

Thus, the equilibrium-constant expression for a reaction written in one direction is the  reciprocal___ of the one for the reaction written for the reverse direction.
