Suppose 0.10 mol of Cu(NO_3)_2 and 1.50 mol of NH_3 are dissolved in water and diluted to a total volume of 1.00 L. Calculate the concentrations of Cu(NH_3)_4^2+ and of Cu^2+ at equilibrium.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Explanation:

It is known that the coefficients change in concentration and in the exponents.  Hence, the reaction equation will be as follows.

     Cu^(2+)(aq) + 4NH_(3)(aq) \rightarrow Cu(NH_(3))^(2)_(4)(aq)

According to the ICE table,

      Cu^(2+)(aq) + 4NH_(3)(aq) \rightarrow Cu(NH_(3))^(2)_(4)(aq)

Initial :    0.10         1.50                        0

Change : -x         -4x                        +x

Equilibrium: 0.10 - x  1.50 - 4x            x  

Hence, the mass action expression is as follows.

    K_(f) = ([Cu(NH3)^(2+)_(4)])/([Cu^(2+)][NH_(3)]_(4))

                        = (x)/((0.10 - x)(1.50 - 4x)^(4))

As, the value of is huge, it means that the reaction is very product favored. Hence, we need to find the limiting reactant first and then  we get to know what x should be.

In the given reaction ammonia is the limiting reactant, because there is less than 4 times the ammonia as the copper cation. Thus, we expect it to run out first, and so, x is approximately equal to 0.25 M.

So, putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

   1.03 * 10^(13) = (0.25)/((0.10 - 0.25)(1.50 - 4x))^(4)

                              =

From here

   [NH_(3)] = 1.50 - 4x = ((2.33)/(1.03 * 10^(13)))^{(1)/(4)

                       = M

Therefore, we can "re-solve" for x to get and verify that it is still ≈0.250 M.

                x = [Cu(NH_(3))^(2+)_(4)]

                  = \frac{1.50 - 2.31284 * 10{-4}}{4}]

                    = 0.37491425 M

Thus, we can conclude that concentration of (Cu^(2+)) is  0.37491425 M.

Which of the following changes is observed when we move across the row from left to right in the periodic table?

Answers

Answer:

there is no picture to look at

Answer:

Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell.

1. On the basis of your results, what is the relationship between the temperature of the solvent and the rate of solution formation?

Answers

Answer: As the temperature increases, the rate of formation of solution increases.

Explanation:

Solvent is defined as a substance which is present in larger proportion in a solution. Solute is dissolved in the solvent to form a solution.

As, the temperature of the solvent increases, the kinetic energy of the particles of solvent increases and the intermolecular spacing between the solvent particles increases and therefore, this results in the more dissolution of the solute particles in the solvent and hence, the formation of solution increases.

Therefore, there is a direct relationship between the temperature of the solvent and the formation of the solution.

Answer:

Hot temp = solution forming faster.

Explanation:

Salt in hot water dissolves faster than salt in ice water.

A wavelength of 4.73 x 10-7 m, and a frequency of

Answers

Answer:

Frequency =0.634×10¹⁵ s⁻¹

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength = 4.73×10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = ?

Solution:

Formula:

speed of light = wavelength× frequency

speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in formula.

3×10⁸ m/s = 4.73×10⁻⁷ m × frequency

Frequency = 3×10⁸ m/s /4.73×10⁻⁷ m

Frequency =0.634×10¹⁵ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency =0.634×10¹⁵ Hz
