Answer:
To the left.
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced reaction at equilibrium
2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 SO₃(g)
Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient (Qc)
Qc = [SO₃]² / [SO₂]² × [O₂]
Qc = 0.254² / 0.500² × 0.00855
Qc = 30.2
Step 3: Determine in which direction will proceed the system
Since Qc > Kc, the system will shift to the left to attain the equilibrium.
C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.
Hope it helps :)
Answer:
3.09kg
Explanation:
First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
2C8H18 + 25O2 —> 16CO2 + 18H2O
Molar Mass of C8H18 = (12x8) + (18x1) = 96 + 18 = 114g/mol
Mass of C8H18 from the balanced equation = 2 x 114 = 228g
Converting 228g of C8H18 to kg, we obtained:
228/1000 = 0.228kg
Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol
Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 16 x 44 = 704g
Converting 704g of CO2 to kg, we obtained:
704/1000 = 0.704kg
From the equation,
0.228kg of C8H18 produced 0.704kg of CO2.
Therefore, 1kg of C8H18 will produce = 0.704/0.228 = 3.09kg of CO2
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
The percentage composition of CF4 is %C = 13.64% and %F = 86.36%
The solution are as follows:
Molar mass of CF4 = 88
<span>molar mass of C = 12 </span>
<span>molar mass of F = 4x19 = 76 </span>
<span>% C = 12/88 x 100 = 13.64% </span>
<span>% F = 76/88 x 100 = 86.36%</span>
