Answer:
Kp = 0.81666
Explanation:
Pressure of PCl₅ = 0.500 atm
Considering the ICE table for the equilibrium as:
PCl₅ (g) ⇔ PCl₃ (g) + Cl₂ (g)
t = o 0.500
t = eq -x x x
---------------------------------------------
--------------------------
Moles at eq: 0.500-x x x
Given the pressure of PCl₅ at equilibrium = 0.150 atm
Thus, 0.500 - x = 0.150
x = 0.350 atm
The expression for the equilibrium constant is:
So,
x = 0.350 atm
Thus,
<u>Thus, Kp = 0.81666</u>
The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:
- <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently. For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
- <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
- <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
- <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
- <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃
Answer:
2.8 x 10²³ molecules H₂O
1.4 x 10²³ molecules O₂
Explanation:
First, you will need the balanced chemical equation for the formation of water:
2H₂ + O₂ -> 2H₂O
This will help in determining the mole ratios between water and oxygen, which we will need later.
Let's first calculate the number of H₂O (water) molecules. This will require stoichiometry. We are also given the mass, so we must convert mass into moles, then moles into molecules. mass -> moles -> molecules
8.5 g H₂O x (1 mol H₂O/18.01528 g H₂O) x (6.02 x 10²³ molecules H₂O/1 mol H₂O) = 2.8404 x 10²³ molecules H₂O
Rounded to 2 significant digits: 2.8 x 10²³ molecules H₂O
Now, to find the molecules of water, we can begin with the same stoichiometric equation, but before we convert to molecules, we will have to convert moles of water to moles of oxygen. This is where we will use the mole ratio of water to oxygen we got from the balanced chemical equation earlier. 2H₂O:1O₂
8.5 g H₂O x (1 mol H₂O/18.01528 g H₂O) x (1 mol O₂/2 mol H₂O) x (6.02 x 10²³ molecules O₂/1 mol O₂) = 1.4202 x 10²³ molecules O₂
Rounded to 2 significant digits: 1.4 x 10²³ molecules O₂
PV=nRT
PV= (m/M)RT
PM=(m/v)RT
PM =dRT
d= (PM) ÷(RT)
substitute the the given data to the above equation. d-density, p-pressure, M- molar mass of argon gas, T- temperature. and R is a constant. make sure to substitute its value too.. :)
