The value of kc for the reaction between water vapor and dichlorine monoxide, h2o(g) 1 cl2o(g) 4 2 hocl(g) is 0.0900 at 25°c. determine the equilibrium concentrations of all three compounds at 25°c if the starting concentrations of both reactants are 0.00432 m and no hocl is present.

[HOCl] = 0.001 127 mol·L⁻¹; [H₂O] = [Cl₂O] = 0.003 76 mol·L⁻¹

Explanation:

The balanced equation is

H₂O + Cl₂O ⇌ 2HOCl

Data:

     Kc = 0.0900

[H₂O] = 0.004 32 mol·L⁻¹

[Cl₂O] = 0.004 32 mol

1. Set up an ICE table.

2. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations

[HOCl] = 2x mol·L⁻¹ = 2 × 5.63 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹ =0.001 127 mol·L⁻¹

[H₂O] = [Cl₂O] = (0.004 32 - 0.000 563) mol·L⁻¹ = 0.003 76 mol·L⁻¹

Check:

OK.

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
