A sealed 1.0L flask is filled with 0.500 mols of I_2 and 0.500 mols of Br_2. When the container achieves equilibrium the equilibrium constant is 1.10x10^{-2}. What is the equilibrium concentration of the product, IBr?

[IBr] = 0.049 M.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the balanced chemical reaction:

It is possible to set up the following equilibrium expression:

Whereas the the initial concentrations of both iodine and bromine are 0.50 M; and in terms of (reaction extent) would be:

Which can be solved for to obtain two possible results:

Whereas the correct result is 0.0245 M since negative results does not make any sense. Thus, the concentration of the product turns out:

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
