For Kc do not consider solid and you should get correct answer!
Good Luck! It was easy for us!
But the other substances are gases, so could you plz write the steps for me cuz I am VERY confused, and very tense about my exams 3 hours later!

Sure.
I think you have reached moles at equilibrum for NH3 and HCL to be 0.7.
so Kc=[NH3][HCL]
vol. is given.
Kc=[0.7/0.5][0.7/0.5]=C

Could you guys help me here?
I asked this q. a few pages back.
Metallic9896 answered it as follows...

As zellyman said, P is same in both so in first situation:

P = nRT/V

You don't know n but you do know that n = mass/Mr and you have mass so substitute that in, convert T from C to K, convert V from 0.025 to 0.000025 if you want and R is 8.31 as you know, but keep V in dm^3 anyway cause units will cancel out as you'll be able to see if you're good at maths.

P = mass x R x T/V x Mr
P = (0.1 x 8.31 x 373)/(0.025 x Mr), no need to go any further as the final answer isn't a full answer either. It's enough to see that

P = 0.1 x 8.31 x 373/0.025 x Mr

In second situation:

P = nRT/V

You have n (1), rest as usual.

P = 1 x 8.31 x 273/22.4, again, enough to see that P = 8.31 x 273/22.4

Equate both P and Mr subject of formula:

(8.31 x 273)/(22.4) = (0.1 x 8.31 x 373)/(0.025 x Mr)

0.025 x Mr = 0.1 x 8.31 x 373 x 22.4/8.31 x 273

8.31 cancel out

0.025 x Mr = 0.1 x 373 x 22.4/273

Mr = 0.1 x 373 x 22.4/273 x 0.025

D is the answer.

Thank you v. much Darks!

Some of the guys had to leave out questions. So you guys had a hard bio paper and we had alhamdulilah rather easy and you guys had an easy chem paper and we had a hard one!

this question: October/November 2014 variant 12 question number 15.
the equation: K2O + H2SO4 ---> K2SO4 + H2O i don't think this is correct as the question said that K2O is dissolved in water.
so i think these 2 equations may be used to solve the question:
1) K2O + H2O ---> 2KOH
2) 2KOH + H2SO4 ---> K2SO4 + 2H2O.
but i can't seem to find the answer. However i found this on yahoo answers:

(2 mol/dm^3 H2SO4) x (0.015 dm^3) x (2 mol KOH / 1 mol H2SO4) x (1 mol K2O / 2 mol KOH) x
(250 cm^3 / 25 cm^3) x (94.1960 g K2O/mol) = 28 g K2O


can anyone explain this to me on plain paper and/or step by step?
Hi, good question.

Firstly, you should understand that in most cases, "dissolving" of a substance does not imply a reaction. I do not say this is the case always, as a chemical may be able to react with water to dissolve. However, I find no evidence that K2O would react with water in the manner described by you. Perhaps you are right, and you can refer me to a source that shows that a group 1 oxide dissolves in water in such a manner?

Secondly, it should be noted that even if your reactions were correct, the final answer remains the same. This is because the stoichiometric ratio of H2SO4 to K2O is still 1:1. Thus the method of finding the number of moles of K2O in 25cm^3 of solution using the ratio with number of moles in H2SO4 still yields the same answer.

i have seen it on the internet :

and yes you are right the answers are same both way
