Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 22P
The last “missing” element from the first six periods was promethium, which was finally discovered in 1947 among the fission products of uranium. Determine (a) the ratio of the number of neutrons in a 145Pm nucleus to the number of protons, and (b) the number of electrons in a single promethium atom.

The reaction: 2NO2(g) ⇌ N2O4(g) is an exothermic reaction, ΔH=-58.0 kJ/molrxn at 0°C the KP is 58.If the initial partial pressures of both NO2(g) and N2O4(g) are 2.00 atm:A) Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, what is the value of Q?
B) Which direction will the reaction go to reach equilibrium?
C) Use an ICE table to find the equilibrium pressures.
The dissociation of the weak acid, nitrous acid, HNO2, takes place according to the reaction:
HNO2 (aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + NO2–(aq) K=7.2 X 10-4
When 1.00 mole of HNO2 is added to 1.00 L of water, the H+ concentration at equilibrium is 0.0265 M.A) Calculate the value of Q if 1.00 L of water is added?
B) How will reaction shift if 1.00 L of water is added?
