Hydrogen Iodide dissociates into H2 and I2.
2HI (g) <-----> H2 (g) + I2 (g) (the reaction goes in both directions)
In an experiment, b mol of hydrogen iodide were put into a sealed vessel at pressure p. At equilibrium, x mol of the hydrogen iodide had dissociated. Which expression for Kp is correct?
A. x^2/(b-x)^2 B. x^2×p^2/(b-x)^2 C. x^2×p^2/4b(b-x) D. x^2/4(b-x)^2
The ice table method doesnt work here. The answer is D.
I am getting x^2/(b-2x)^2

x moles of HI have dissociated which will give x/2 moles of H2 and x/2 moles of I2
When u will write the expression, the numerator will be ( x/2)² = x²/4 and the 4 will go in the denominator to form x²/4(b-x)²

In flooded soils, like those used for rice cultivation, the oxygen content is low. In such soils, anaerobic bacteria cause the loss of nitrogen from the soil as shown in the following sequence.

In which step is the change in oxidation number (oxidation state) of nitrogen different to the changes in the other steps?

NO3–(aq)
A
NO2–(aq)
B
NO(g)
C
N2O(g) N2(g


Please help guys

Correct, and if u want to know how to calculate oxidation no.s of elements in a compound/ion, this is how we do it :
1) let the element's unknown oxidation no. be x. In option A for example , u can form an equation. Remember, the total charge must equal 0 or the charge on the ion ( in this case -1)
equation: x+(3*-2)= -1 . Why ? 3 is the no. of oxygen bonded,O3 , and -2 is its charge . x=+6-1 . x=+5. So, N in NO3- is +5.
Follow the same steps to find charges for other compounds. Hope it helped :) .

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!! :)

Group 1 nitrates decompose on heating to produce oxygen and metal nitrite, MNO2 (M = Na, K, Rb or Cs). When a particular Group 1 nitrate, MNO3, was heated until no further change occurred, it lost 10.85% of its mass. Calculate the Ar of M and hence identity it.
