1. Write the equilibrium-constant expression, in terms of concentrations, for each of the following reactions. (a) TiCl3(s) W TiCl(s) + Cl2(g) Kc = [Cl2] (b) CuCl42-(aq) W Cu2+(aq) + 4 Cl – (aq) Kc = ([Cu2+ ][Cl – ]4)/[CuCl42- ] (c) CO(g) + H2O(g) W CO2(g) + H2(g) Kc = ([CO2][H2])/([CO][H2O]) (d) 4 H3O+(aq) + […]
1. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used in concentrated solution in rocket fuels and dilute solution as hair bleach. An aqueous solution of H2O2 is 30.0% by mass and has a density of 1.11 g/mL. Calculate the following quantities for this solution: (a) molality of H2O2, (b) mole fraction of H2O2, and (c) molarity of H2O2. […]
1. Consider the following molecules: H2S, PF3, CS2, IBr, and CBr4. Which molecules in this list are not polar? Justify your reasoning. We need to determine the polarity of the molecules using the geometries predicted by VSEPR Theory. H2S Þ 2 bonding groups, 2 lone pairs on sulfur bent molecular geometry Þ polar molecule PF3 […]
