Deduce which of Na+ and Mg2+ is the smaller ion. Explain your answer.

mg2+ would be the smaller ion this is because each ion has the same number of electrons however mg2+ has a greater number of protons and therefore is more charge dense and the outer electrons feel a great...

Given is a following reaction at equilibrium: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇄ 2NH3(g), ΔH < 0. What will be the effect of changing the following conditions on the system? 1. Increasing pressure. 2. Decreasing temperature. 3. Adding a catalyst. 4. Adding HCl(g).

The correct approach to this question is to use the Le Chatelier's principle, which states that when you change conditions of a system at equilibrium, the system counteracts the change - a new equilibrium...

At what temperature would 0.05 moles of nitrogen gas occupy 1000cm^3 at 50kPa?

Ideal gas equation: pV=nRT Rearrange to get T: T=pV/nR Convert pressure to Pa: 50 x 1000 = 50,000 Convert volume to m^3: 1000 / (100)^3 = 0.001 Insert to find temperature: T = (50,000 x 0.001) / (0.05 x 8...

Describe the mechanism for bromination across a double bond

This mechanism is an example of an electrophillic addition reaction.

Firstly consider the approach of a Br2, and how that bond will develop an induced dipole as a result of the high electron densit...
