Answer:

The equilibrium will shift to the right

Explanation:

The chemical equilibrium represents a balance between direct and inverse reactions.

The Le Chatelier Principle states that variations in experimental conditions can alter this balance and displace the equilibrium position, causing more or less of the desired product to form. And in this way the system evolves in the opposite direction so as to counteract the effects of such disturbance.

The variation of one or more of the following factors are those that can alter the equilibrium condition:

  • Temperature
  • The pressure
  • The volume
  • The concentration of reactants or products

In this case:

NaOH produces OH⁻ ions. OH⁻ ion uses up H₃O⁺  through the reaction:

H₃O⁺ + OH⁻ → 2 H₂O

According to the Le Chatelier principle, the addition of NaOH consumes one of the products, decreasing its concentration. Therefore, to balance the reaction, <u><em>the equilibrium will shift to the right</em></u> in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the equilibrium state.

If 1.320 moles of CH4 reacts completely with oxygen, how many grams of H2O can be formed
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

47.5 g of water can be formed

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

CH₄  +  2O₂  →  CO₂ + 2H₂O

Methane combustion.

In this process 1 mol of methane react with 2 moles of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water and 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

As ratio is 1:2, I will produce the double of moles of water, with the moles of methane I have.

1.320 mol  .2 = 2.64 moles

Now, we can convert the moles to mass (mol . molar mass)

2.64 mol . 18g/mol = 47.5 g

If you could see inside an atom, how could you tell if it would have a positive charge?
liq [111]
If we r talking about the whole atom, we would see that the atom have higher number of protons (positive charges)than electrons (negative charges). That means the number of positiv charges are dominating over the number of negative charges which makes the atom a positiv charges atom

recall the definition of an acid that you learned in chemistry. Explain how the reaction blow illustrates the acididc properties
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Lactic acid is used to prepare medicine. It is colorless, can be solid or liquid form.

Explanation:

Acids are sour in taste. It changes the color and taste of the chemical. It reacts with some chemicals metals and produce the hydrogen. It react with hydrogen. I also react with the bases and produce the salt. It also promotes some of the chemical reaction. For example nitric acid, phosphoric acid sulfuric acid and the organic acids.

The lactic acid is soluble with ethanol and water. It is produced by the reaction of two strategies, the synthetic method and biotechnological methods. It is produced at very large scale by the help of fermentation. Lactic acid is colorless, in liquid or solid form. It is a weak acid and can react in the way as the stronger acids react.
