As per Le Chatelier principle, when a system in equilibrium is disturbed, the reaction will try to compensate the change to restore the equilibrium.

This reaction occurs in gas phase, so the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure.

Then a decrease in volume will cause an increase in pressure, so the system will tend to react in the direction that compensates this increase, this is the system will try to reduce the number of moles of particles to reduce the increase of the pressure.

As you see, there are 3 particles of products (2 of NO and 1 of Br) for every 2 particles of reactant (NOBr).

That means, that the equilibrium will displace to the left, this is the concentration of NOBr will increase while the concentration of NO and Br will decrease.

Well, you could use a reverse osmosis process to remove all of the fluoride that the United Staes government has put in the water! Every year the Us Gov receives a lot of fluoride from china. Fluoride is a waste and a poison, and instead of the Us Government paying a Buch of money to burn this waste, they just put it in the water! what you need t do, is get your water from the earth. Which is actually the best place to get your water, because its WATER filtered by the earth. Just google wells or springs around your location, some private business/companies offer their water collecting serves, something you should really take advantage of! As for me, I get my water at a place called "Carlsbad alkaline water." good stuff, only 50 cents for 4 gallons. rawr XD Jesus loves you, and he offers the everything freely, which means you don't need to follow a religion to earn anything. Lets face it, your not perfect, and we need help from God!

6. If the pressure of a gas is 1.01 atm and the temperature is 25°C, then if the pressure is increased to 1.10, what is the new

Answer:

324.554 K

Explanation:

Which can be converted back to °C by subtracting 273

Once again thus answer can be found using the gas law P1/T1 =P2/T2

Remember to convert to Kelvin before doing the calculations by adding 273
