Answer:
shifts equilibrium in the direction of the products
shifts equilibrium in the direction of the reactants
does not change
shifts equilibrium in the direction of the reactants
Explanation:
When a constraint such as a change in pressure, concentration or temperature is imposed on a reaction system in equilibrium, the equilibrium position will shift in such a way as to annul the constraint.
The reaction is endothermic as written. Hence, increase in temperature increases the rate of forward reaction thereby shifting the equilibrium position towards the products.
When the volume of a reaction is decreased, the equilibrium position shifts in the direction which produces the least total volume. In this case, decrease in volume shifts the equilibrium position towards the reactants.
A catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium position. However, a catalyst may cause equilibrium to be achieved faster or at a lower temperature.
When more CaO is added, the equilibrium position shifts towards the reactants side and more CaCO3 is produced.

Based on the standard EMF series and your knowledge of half-reactions, determine the cell potential and spontanei ty of a cell that consists of a pure cobalt electrode in a solution of Co^2+ ions; the other half is a lead electrode immersed in a Pb^2+ solution.
Pb +2e- Pb Sn +2e Sn Ni 2e Ni Co 2e -0.126 -0.136 -0.250 -0.277 Co
a. +0.403, spontaneous
b. -0.403, nonspontaneous
c. +0.151, spontaneous
d. -0.151, nonspontaneous
Answer:
+0.151, spontaneous
Explanation:
Given that;
Co^2+(aq) + 2e ---->Co(s) -0.28 V
Pb^2+(aq) + 2e ---->Pb(s). -0.13 V
Hence Co is the anode and Pb is the cathode
E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode
So;
E°cell = -0.13 V - (-0.28 V)
E°cell = 0.15 V
The cell reaction is spontaneous since E°cell is positive.
3. Oxalic acid, C H20, is a toxic substance found in rhubarb leaves. When mixed with sufficient
quantities of a strong base, this weak diprotic acid loses two protons to form a polyatomic ion
called oxalate, C2022. Write a balanced equation that describes the reaction between oxalic acid
and sodium hydroxide.
Answer:
COOHCOOH + 2OH⁻ ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻ + 2H₂O
Explanation:
The reaction of oxalic acid with a strong base like sodium hydroxide is the following:
COOHCOOH + OH⁻ ⇄ COOHCOO⁻ + H₂O (1)
In this first reaction, the oxalic acid loses one proton. In a second reaction with NaOH, the ion COOHCOO⁻ loses its second proton to form ion oxalate as follows:
COOHCOO⁻ + OH⁻ ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻ + H₂O (2)
The general reaction between oxalic acid and NaOH is (eq 1 + eq 2):
COOHCOOH + 2OH⁻ ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻ + 2H₂O

The following equilibria were attained at 823 K:
COO(s) + H2() Co(s) + H2O(g) K = 67
COO(s) + CO(8) = Co(s) + CO2(8) K = 490
Based on these equilibria, calculate the equilibrium con-
stant for
H2(g) + CO2(g) = CO(g) + H2O(g) at 823 K.
The equilibrium constant for the reaction is K = 0.137
We obtain the equilibrium constant considering the following equilibria and their constants:
COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g) K₁ = 67
COO(s) + CO(g) → Co(s) + CO₂(g) K₂ = 490
We write the first reaction in the forward direction because we need H₂(g) in the reactants side:
(1) COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g) K₁ = 67
Then, we write the second reaction in the reverse direction because we need CO₂(g) in the reactants side. Thus, the equilibrium constant for the reaction in the reverse direction is the reciprocal of the constant for the reaction in the forward direction (K₂):
(2) Co(s) + CO₂(g) → COO(s) + CO(g) K₂ = 1/490
From the addition of (1) and (2), we obtain:
COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g) K₁ = 67
+
Co(s) + CO₂(g) → COO(s) + CO(g) K₂ = 1/490
-------------------------------------------------
H₂(g) + CO₂(g) → CO(g) + H₂O(g)
Notice that Co(s) and COO(s) are removed that appear in the same amount at both sides of the chemical equation.
Now, the equilibrium constant K for the reaction that is the sum of other two reactions is calculated as the product of the equilibrium constants, as follows:
K = K₁ x K₂ = 67 x 1/490 = 67/490 = 0.137

to support their theories. Who is the experimental scientist in this group?
O Democritus
O Aristotle

Anaxagoras was perhaps the first literate person to attempt to explain physical phenomena rationally, basing his ideas upon careful observations and simple experiments. This is fundamental to modern science and is the sine qua non of environmental study.
A gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process at 400 K during which the change in entropy is −0.3 kJ/K. Assuming the ideal gas model for the gas and negligible kinetic and potential energy effects, evaluate the work, in kJ.
Answer:
W = -120 KJ
Explanation:
Since the piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process, then the temperature is constant.
Thus; T1 = T2 = 400K
change in entropy; ΔS = −0.3 kJ/K
Formula for change in entropy is written as;
ΔS = Q/T
Where Q is amount of heat transferred.
Thus;
Q = ΔS × T
Q = -0.3 × 400
Q = -120 KJ
From the first law of thermodynamics, we can find the workdone from;
Q = ΔU + W
Where;
ΔU is Change in the internal energy
W = Work done
Now, since it's an ideal gas model, the change in internal energy is expressed as;
ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT
Where;
m is mass
C_v is heat capacity at constant volume
ΔT is change in temperature
Now, since it's an isothermal process where temperature is constant, then;
ΔT = T2 - T1 = 0
Thus;
ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT = 0
ΔU = 0
From earlier;
Q = ΔU + W
Thus;
-120 = 0+ W
W = -120 KJ

Step 3: Perform the charge balance, adding electrons where appropriate
2 e⁻ + Br₂ ⇒ 2 Br⁻
5 H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ ⇒ 2 SO₄²⁻ + 10 H⁺ + 10 e⁻
Step 4: Make the number of electrons gained and lost equal
5 × (2 e⁻ + Br₂ ⇒ 2 Br⁻)
1 × (5 H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ ⇒ 2 SO₄²⁻ + 10 H⁺ + 10 e⁻)
Step 5: Add both half-reactions
5 Br₂ + S₂O₃²⁻ + 5 H₂O ⇒ 10 Br⁻ + 2 SO₄²⁻ + 10 H⁺

Suppose that you add 24.3 g of an unknown molecular compound to 0.250 kg of benzene, which has a K f of 5.12 oC/m. With the added solute, you find that there is a freezing point depression of 3.14 oC compared to pure benzene. What is the molar mass (in g/mol) of the unknown compound
Solution :
We know that :
[tex]$\Delta T_f = k_f.m$[/tex] and [tex]$m=\frac{w_2}{m_2 \times w_1}$[/tex]
Then, [tex]$\Delta T_f = k_f.\frac{w_2}{m_2.w_1}$[/tex] ..................(1)
Where,
[tex]w_1[/tex] = amount of solvent (in kg)
[tex]w_2[/tex] = amount of solute (in kg)
[tex]m_2[/tex] = molar mass of solute (g/mole)
[tex]m[/tex] = molality of solution (mole/kg)
Given :
[tex]\Delta T_f[/tex] = [tex]3.14\ ^\circ C[/tex], [tex]k_f= 5.12\ ^\circ C/m[/tex]
[tex]=5.12 \ ^\circ C/mole/kg[/tex]
[tex]=5.12 \ ^\circ C \ kg/mole[/tex]
[tex]w_1[/tex] = 0.250 kg, [tex]w_2[/tex] = 24.3 g
Then putting this values in the equation is (1),
[tex]$3.14 = \frac{5.12 \times 24.3}{m_2 \times 0.250}$[/tex]
[tex]$m_2 = \frac{5.12 \times 24.3}{3.14 \times 0.250}$[/tex]

Answer:
D
Explanation:
We have to bear in mind that the acid is a weak acid. A weak acid does not dissociate completely in solution. We will have more concentration of undissociated acid than A^- and H3O^+ and OH^- in the system at equilibrium.
Being a weak acid, there is maximum concentration of water molecules followed by that of undissiociated acid.
Hence, for this solution, the concentration of ions in solution follows the order;
[H2O] > [HA] > [A-] ~ [H3O ] > [OH-]
Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing reactivity (least reactive first.) to electrophilic aromatic substitution:.
Bromobenzene Nitrobenzene Benzene Phenol
a. Bromobenzene < Nitrobenzene < Benzene < Phenol
b. Nitrobenzene < Bromobenzene < Benzene < Phenol
c. Phenol < Benzene < Bromobenzene < Nitrobenzene
d. Nitrobenzene < Benzene < Bromobenzene < Phenol
Answer:
Nitrobenzene < Bromobenzene < Benzene < Phenol
Explanation:
Aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction in the presence of relevant electrophiles. Certain substituents tend to increase or decrease the tendency of an aromatic compound towards electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
Substituents that increase the electron density around the ring such as in phenol tends to make the ring more reactive towards electrophilic substitution. Halogens such as bromine has a -I inductive effect as well as a +M mesomeric effect.
However the -I(electron withdrawing effect) of the halogens supersedes the +M electron donation due to mesomeric effect.
Putting all these together, the order of increasing reactivity of the compounds towards electrophilic aromatic substitution is;
Nitrobenzene < Bromobenzene < Benzene < Phenol
Is a 4p S 4s transition allowed in sodium? If so, what is its wavelength? If not, why not? b. Is a 3d S 4s transition allowed in sodium? If so, what is its wavelength? If not, why not? g
Answer:
a) 4p ⇒ 4s transition is Allowed
b) 3d ⇒ 4s transition not allowed
Explanation:
a) 4p ⇒ 4s transition
This transition is allowed because for a 4p state; l = 1 and for a 4s state I = 0
hence Δl = 1 - 0 = 1
Energy of 4p ( Ei ) = 3.75eV
Energy of 4s ( E2 ) = 3.19 eV
where : λ = 1240 eV nm / ( E₂ - E₁ )
= 2214 nm ≈ 2.214 μm
b) 3d ⇒ 4s transition
This transition is not allowed
a 3d state , l = 2 while for 4s state l = 0
hence Δl = 2 - 0 = 2
therefore the transition is not allowed

Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.685 \times 10^{24} \ Fe \ atoms}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to convert grams of iron to atoms of iron.
1. Convert Grams to MolesFirst, we convert grams to moles. We use the molar mass or the mass in 1 mole of a substance. This is found on the Periodic Table because the molar mass is equal to the atomic mass, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up iron's molar mass.
Fe: 55.84 g/molWe convert using dimensional analysis, so we must set up a ratio using the molar mass.
[tex]\frac {55.84 \ g \ Fe}{ 1 \ mol \ Fe}[/tex]
We are converting 434.52 grams to moles, so we multiply by this value.
[tex]434.52 \ g \ Fe *\frac {55.84 \ g \ Fe}{ 1 \ mol \ Fe}[/tex]
Flip the ratio so the units of grams of iron cancel.
[tex]434.52 \ g \ Fe *\frac { 1 \ mol \ Fe}{55.84 \ g \ Fe}[/tex]
[tex]434.52 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ Fe}{55.84}[/tex]
[tex]\frac { 434.52}{55.84} \ mol \ Fe[/tex]
[tex]7.781518625 \ mol \ Fe[/tex]
2. Convert Moles to AtomsNext, we convert moles to atoms. We use Avogadro's Number or 6.02 ×10²³. It is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc) in 1 mole of a substance. For this problem, the particles are atoms of iron. We set up another ratio using this number.
[tex]\frac {6.02 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Fe }{ 1 \ mol \ Fe}[/tex]
Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.
[tex]7.781518625 \ mol \ Fe *\frac {6.02 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Fe }{ 1 \ mol \ Fe}[/tex]
The units of moles of iron cancel.
[tex]7.781518625 *\frac {6.02 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Fe }{ 1 }[/tex]
[tex]4.68447421 \times 10^{24} \ atoms \ Fe[/tex]
The correct answer choice is Choice 3: 4.685 × 10²⁴ atoms of iron.

Nitrogen gas can be prepared by passing gaseous ammonia over solid copper (II) oxide at high temperatures. If 18.1 g of Nh3 is reacted with 90.4 g of CuO, which is the limiting reactant? How many grams of N2 will be formed? Explain how you solved for your answers.
Balanced Equation: 2NH3 + 3CuO → 3Cu + N2 + 3H2O
I first converted the given grams of the reactants into moles, and then divided the moles by the coefficients in front of each of the reactant. The result with the smallest value will be the limiting reactant, and the value of CuO was the smallest, so it's the limiting reactant.
After figuring out which reactant is the limiting one, I took their given grams and converted it into moles, the divided it by the ratio of N2 to CuO (it's in the equation) to obtain the moles of N2, and then multiply it with the molar mass of N2 to get its mass in grams.
