Answer:
represents the additional driving force required to overcome barriers such as the large activation energy for the formation of a gas at a metal surface.
The statement which is true is
metals lose electrons to become cations
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- metals tends to loss electrons to attain noble gas electrons configuration.
- When metal loses electrons they form a positive charged ions.
- The positively charged ion is known as cations.
- for example sodium metal (Na) loses 1 electron to form a cation with a charge of positive 1 ( Na^+)
Answer: The equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.0421.
Explanation:
Concentration of ![[PCl_5]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BPCl_5%5D)
= 0.0095 M
Concentration of ![[PCl_3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BPCl_3%5D)
= 0.020 M
Concentration of ![[Cl_2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCl_2%5D)
= 0.020 M
The expression of the equilibrium constant is given as:
![K_c=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}=\frac{0.020 M\times 0.020 M}{0.0095 M}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BPCl_3%5D%5BCl_2%5D%7D%7B%5BPCl_5%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.020%20M%5Ctimes%200.020%20M%7D%7B0.0095%20M%7D)
(An equilibrium constant is an unit less constant)
The equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.0421.
