The reaction pcl3(g)+cl2(g)←−→pcl5(g) has kp=0.0870 at 300 ∘c. a flask is charged with 0.50atmpcl3, 0.50atmcl2, and 0.20atmpcl5

at this temperature. part a use the reaction quotient to determine the direction the reaction must proceed in order to reach equilibrium.

The question only asks regarding the direction of the equilibrium reaction. The general expression of Kp is:

Kp = [PCl₅]/[PCl₃][Cl₂]

The higher the value of K (greater than 1), the more spontaneous the reaction (favors the product side). Otherwise, it favors the reactant side. Since Kp = 0.087 which is less than 1, the direction favors the forward reaction towards the product side.

Given, equilibrium constant  Kp = 0.0870

Pressure of PCl₃ = 0.50 atm

Pressure of Cl₂ =  0.50 atm

Pressure of PCl₅ = 0.20 atm

Reaction quotient, Q =  \frac{0.20 atm}{0.50 atm x 0.50 atm}

Q = 0.8

Q > K, net reaction is to the left

Q= K, no net reaction

Q < K, net reaction is to the right

<em>Q = 0.8  and Kp = 0.0870</em>

Q is greater than K, so the net reaction is to the left or to the reactant side.

Therefore, the reaction must proceed to the left or to the reactant side in order to reach equilibrium.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

C. effusion because there is a movement of a gas through a small opening into a larger volume

Explanation:

Effusion makes fluid/gas molecules move to the container with less pressure or larger volume. In diffusion, the movement should work two ways even though one side might receive more. But in effusion, the movement is rather one way.

This case shows how effusion work because its not the concentration that makes the balls moving to the bottom part of the container. No ball moving from bottom container to top either.

7. How many moles of argon are there in 20.0 L, at 25 degrees Celsius and 96.8 kPa?
suter [353]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

              0.8133 mol

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Data Given:

                 Moles  =  n  =  ??

                 Temperature  =  T  =  25 °C + 273.15  =  298.15 K

                  Pressure  =  P  =  96.8 kPa  =  0.955 atm

                  Volume  =  V  =  20.0 L

Formula Used:

Let's assume that the Argon gas is acting as an Ideal gas, then according to Ideal Gas Equation,

                  P V  =  n R T

where;  R  =  Universal Gas Constant  =  0.082057 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹

Solving Equation for n,

                  n  =  P V / R T

Putting Values,

                  n  =  (0.955 atm × 20.0 L) ÷ (0.082057 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 298.15 K)

                 n  =  0.8133 mol

A 10.63 g sample of mo2o3(s) is converted completely to another molybdenum oxide by adding oxygen. the new oxide has a mass of 1
Roman55 [17]
<span>MoO2 First, lookup the atomic weights of the elements involved Atomic weight molybdenum = 95.94 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Now calculate the molar mass of Mo2O3 2 * 95.94 + 3 * 15.999 = 239.877 g/mol Now determine how many moles of the original Mo2O3 you had 10.63 g / 239.877 g/mol = 0.044314378 mol Determine how much oxygen was added 11.340 g - 10.63 g = 0.71 g How many moles of oxygen was added 0.71 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.044377774 mol Looking at the number of moles of oxygen added and the number of moles of the original compound, they're the same. So 1 oxygen atom was added to each molecule. Since the formula was Mo2O3, the new formula becomes Mo2O4. But since you're looking for the empirical formula, you need to reduce it. Both 2 and 4 are evenly divisible by 2, so the empirical formula becomes MoO2</span>

When an athlete gets hurt they apply sometimes an instant cold pack to the injury. The instant cold pack works by mixing two che
NeX [460]

Answer:

The evidence showing that there is a chemical reaction taking place is the instantaneous temperature drop once the cold pack is shaken.

Explanation:

When an athlete applies a cold pack to the injury, they shake it before, mixing the water and <em>ammonium-nitrate fertilizer</em> inside the cold pack. This mixing is an endothermic reaction, which means it absorbs heat. In turn, the temperature falls to 35 F for around 10 minutes.
