Answer:

Kc = [CH₄] / [H₂]²

Kp = [CH₄] / [H₂]² * (0.082*T)^-1

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant, Kc, is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of the products over the reactants. Also, each concentration of product of reactant is powered to its coefficient.

<em>Pure solids and liquids are not taken into account in an equilibrium</em>

Thus, for the reaction:

C(s)+ 2H₂(g) ⇌ CH₄(g)

Equilibrium constant is:

Now, using the formula:

Kp = Kc* (RT)^Δn

<em>Where R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK), T is the temperature of the reaction and Δn is difference in coefficients of gas products - coefficients of gas reactants (1 - 2= -1)</em>

Answer:

The molar solubility of lead bromide at 298K is 0.010 mol/L.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to use the Nernst Equaiton:

$E = E^{o} - \frac{0.0591}{n} log\frac{[ox]}{[red]}$

E is the cell potential at a certain instant, E⁰ is the cell potential, n is the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, [ox] is the concentration of the oxidated specie and [red] is the concentration of the reduced specie.

At equilibrium, E = 0, therefore:

$E^{o} = \frac{0.0591}{n} log \frac{[ox]}{[red]} \\\\log \frac{[ox]}{[red]} = \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591} \\\\log[red] = log[ox] - \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591}\\\\[red] = 10^{ log[ox] - \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591}} \\\\[red] = 10^{ log0.733 - \frac{2x5.45x10^{-2} }{0.0591}}\\\\$
