Answer:

The characteristics are as follows:

-It is microscopic.

-It contains three sub atomic particles namely: electrons, protons and neutrons.

-It is the smallest unit of any substance (except for living bodies since smallest unit of them is cell).

-When seen from microscope atoms appear to be blur, spheres.

-They form ions(by losing or gaining electrons) and molecules(by combining with itself or other atoms).

Hope this helps :)

Acetic acid, CH3CO2H, reacts with ethanol, C2H5OH, to form water and ethyl acetate, CH3CO2C2H5. The equilibrium constant for thi

Irina-Kira [14]

Explanation:

The initial concentrations for a mixture :

Acetic acid at equilibrium = 0.15 M

Ethanol at equilibrium = 0.15 M

Ethyl acetate at equilibrium = 0.40 M

Water at equilibrium = 0.40 M

$CH3COOH + C_2H_5OH\rightleftharpoons CH_3CO_2C_2H_5+H_2O$

Initially:

0.15 M 0.15 M 0.40 M 0.40 M

At equilibrium

(0.15-x)M (0.15-x) M (0.40+x) M (0.40+x) M

The equilibrium constant is given by expression

$K_c=\frac{[CH_3CO_2C_2H_5][H_2O]}{[CH_3COOH][C_2H_5OH]}$

$4.0=\frac{(0.40-x)\times (0.40-x)}{(0.15+x)\times (0.15+x)}$

Solving for x:

x = 0.0333

The equilibrium concentrations for a mixture :

Acetic acid at equilibrium = (0.15-x)M = (0.15-0.033) M = 0.117 M

Ethanol at equilibrium = (0.15-x)M = (0.15-0.033) M = 0.117 M

Ethyl acetate at equilibrium = (0.40+x)M = (0.40+0.033) M = 0.433 M

Water at equilibrium = (0.40+x)M = (0.40+0.033) M = 0.433 M

The decomposition of NH4HS is endothermic: NH4HS(s)⇌NH3(g)+H2S(g) Part A Which change to an equilibrium mixture of this reaction

shepuryov [24]

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will shift the equilibrium in a direction that will oppose the change.

As the given reaction is as follows.

$NH_{4}HS(s) \rightleftharpoons NH_{3}(g) + H_{2}S(g)$

(a) When increase the temperature of the reactants or system then equilibrium will shift in forward direction where there is less temperature. It is possible for an endothermic reaction.

Thus, formation of $H_{2}S$ will increase.

(b) When we decrease the volume (at constant temperature) of given reaction mixture then it implies that there will be increase in pressure of the system. So, equilibrium will shift in a direction where there will be decrease in composition of gaseous phase. That is, in the backward direction reaction will shift.

Hence, formation of $H_{2}S$ will decrease with decrease in volume.

When we increase the mount of $NH_{4}HS$ then equilibrium will shift in the direction of decrease in concentration that is, in the forward direction.

Thus, we can conclude that formation of $H_{2}S$ will increase then.

How to clean a nose piercing with antibacterial soap?.

pychu [463]

Cleaning the nose piercing with a few simple steps will help prevent pre-existing conditions like infections, allergic reactions or skin damage. Performing regular maintenance will keep your piercing cleaner, more comfortable and easier to clean in the future.(Remember: If you have any problems I recommend visiting a doctor at your earliest convenience!) Antibacterial soap is great at reducing inflammation and clearing up infections. You should soak your nose in it regularly and use a clean cloth to gently wash away any particles that may have fallen into the septum.
