Consider the equilibrium system described by the chemical reaction below, which has a value of Kc equal to 1.87 × 10⁻³ at a certain temperature. If 5.00 g of solid PH₃BCl₃ and 0.0700 g of BCl₃ are added to a 4.500 L reaction vessel, what will the equilibrium concentration of PH₃ be? SO CONFUSED BE VERY SPECIFIC especially WITH FINDING Qc.

[PH₃(g)] = 0.0432M at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given:       PH₃BCl₃(s) => PH₃(g) + PH₃(g); Kc = 1.87 x 10⁻³

*Let solids have concentration value = 1.0M and apply common ion (compound) effect to Ci b/c of 0.070g BCl₃ added initially.

        PH₃BCl₃(s)  =>         BCl₃(g)              +            PH₃(g

Ci:        5.00g                    0.07g                            0.00g    

         *≅1.0M(s)           =0.07g/115.81g·mol⁻¹

                                   = 6 x 10⁻⁶ mol

                                   = 6 x 10⁻⁶mol/4.5L

                                   = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴M                    = 0.00M

ΔC:       -x                            +x                                 +x

Ceq:    1M - x ≅ 1M      = (1.3 x 10⁻⁴ + x)M               = x

Kc = [BCl₃(g)][PH₃(g)] = (1.3 x 10⁻⁴ + x)(x) = 1.87 x 10⁻³

=> 1.3 x 10⁻⁴·x + x² = 1.87 x 10⁻³

=> x² + 1.3 x 10⁻⁴·x  + 1.87 x 10⁻³ = 0

=> x = -b ± [Sqrt(b² - 4ac)] / 2a

=> x = -1.3 x 10⁻⁴ ± Sqrt[(1.3 x 10² - 4(1)(1.87 x 10⁻³)] / 2(1)

=> x = 0.0432M in PH₃ at equilibrium

Check:  

Kc = [BCl₃(g)][PH₃(g)] = (1.3 x 10⁻⁴ + 0.0432)(0.0432) = 1.87 x 10⁻³ (QED)                            

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
