Answer:

Q= 245 =2.5 * 10^2

Explanation:

ΔG = ΔGº + RTLnQ, so also ΔGº= - RTLnK

R= 8,314 J/molK, T=298K

ΔGº= - RTLnK = - 6659.3 J/mol = - 6.7 KJ/mol

ΔG = ΔGº + RTLnQ → -20.5KJ/mol = - 6.7 KJ/mol + 2.5KJ/mol* LnQ

→ 5.5 = LnQ → Q= 245 =2.5 * 10^2

kirza4 [7]

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_{18}H_{20}O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=39.61g$

Mass of $H_2O=9.01g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 39.61 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 39.61=10.80g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 9.01 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 9.01=1.00g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.42) - (10.80 + 1.00) = 1.62 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{10.80g}{12g/mole}=0.9moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1g}{1g/mole}=1moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.62g}{16g/mole}=0.10moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.10 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.9}{0.10}=9$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1}{0.10}=10$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.10}{0.10}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 9 : 10 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_9H_{10}O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 268.34 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 134 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{268.34g/mol}{134g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(9\times 2)}H_{(10\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_{18}H_{20}O_2$

Thus, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_{18}H_{20}O_2$ .

Gaseous ICl (0.20 mol) was added to a 2.0 L flask and allowed to decompose at a high temperature:

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The Kc is 1.36 (but this is not an option, may be the options are wrong, or may be I was .. Thanks!)

Explanation:

Let's think all the situation.

2 ICl(g) ⇄ I₂(g) + Cl₂(g)

Initially 0.20 - -

Initially I have only 0.20 moles of reactant, and nothing of products. In the reaction, an x amount of compound has reacted.

React x x/2 x/2

Because the ratio is 2:1, in the reaction I have the half of moles.

So in equilibrium I will have

(0.20 - x) x/2 x/2

Notice that I have the concentration in equilibrium so:

0.20 - x = 0.060

x = 0.14

So in equilibrium I have formed 0.14/2 moles of I₂ and H₂ (0.07 moles)

Finally, we have to make, the expression for Kc and remember that must to be with concentration in M (mol/L).

As we have a volume of 2L, the values must be /2

Kc = ([I₂]/2 . [H₂]/2) / ([ICl]/2)²

Kc = (0.07/2 . 0.07/2) / (0.060/2)²

Kc = 1.225x10⁻³ / 9x10⁻⁴

Kc = 1.36

To prepare a 2 M solution of potassium nitrate (KNO3), which quantities must be measured? The mass of the and the volume of the

Olin [163]

Answer:

The mass of the solute and the volume of the solution.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the formula of molarity:

$M=\frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}}$

In such a way, since the moles could not be directly measured, we must measure the mass of the solute and by using its molar mass, one could compute its moles. Moreover, since the solution is composed by the solvent (typically water) and the solute, we consequently must measure the volume of the solution needed for the preparation of such concentration-known solution. In such a way, we can actually prepare the required solution.

Best regards.
