Answer:

The flat sheet will completely rust before the iron cube. Since they both have the same volume, the flat sheet has more surface area than the small cube. This means more particles are exposed on the flat sheet that can react in a chemical reaction.

A 0.72-mol sample of PCl5 is put into a 1.00-L vessel and heated. At equilibrium, the vessel contains 0.40 mol of PCl3(g) and 0.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant for $PCl_5$ is 0.5

Equilibrium constant for decomposition of $NO_2$ is $1.79 \times 10^{-14}$

Explanation:

$PCl_5$ dissociates as follows:

$PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2$

initial 0.72 mol 0 0

at eq. 0.72 - 0.40 0.40 0.40

Expression for the equilibrium constant is as follows:

$k=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}$

Substitute the values in the above formula to calculate equilibrium constant as follows:

$k=\frac{[0.40/1][0.40/1]}{0.32/1} \\=\frac{0.40 \times 0.40}{0.32} \\=0.5$

Therefore, equilibrium constant for $PCl_5$ is 0.5

Now calculate the equilibrium constant for decomposition of $NO_2$

It is given that $3.3 \times 10^{-3} \%$ is decomposed.

$NO_2$ decomposes as follows:

$2NO_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NO + O_2$

initial 1.0 M 0 0

at eq. concentration of $NO_2$ is:

$[NO_2]_{eq}=1-(0.000066) = 0.999934\ M$

$[NO]_{eq}=6.6 \times 10^{-5}\ M$

$[O_2]_{eq}=3.3\times 10^{-5} = 3.3\times 10^{-5}\ M$

Expression for equilibrium constant is as follows:

$K=\frac{[NO]^2[O_2]}{[NO_2]^2}$

Substitute the values in the above expression

$K=\frac{[6.6\times 10^{-5}]^2[3.3 \times 10^{-5}]}{[0.999934]^2} \\=1.79\times 10^{-14}$

Equilibrium constant for decomposition of $NO_2$ is $1.79 \times 10^{-14}$

A silver sphere has a mass of 5.492 g and a diameter of 10.0 mm. What is the density of silver metal in grams per cubic centimet

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanat $\rho=10.5\frac{g}{cm^3}$ ion:

Hello,

In this case, considering the given diameter which is related to a radius of 5.0 mm and the formula for the calculation of the volume of the sphere, its volume in cubic centimeters (5.00 mm = 0.5 cm) is then:

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}*\pi*(0.5cm)^3\\\\V=0.524cm^3$
