Answer:
- Option <u><em>C) The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.</em></u>
Explanation:
NO₂ and N₂O₄ undergo the following <em>equilibrium</em> reaction:
That is a reversible reaction, i.e. there are two simultaneous reactions: the direct or forward reaction and the reverse reaction:
- Direct reaction: 2NO₂(g) → N₂O₄(g)
- Reverse reaction: 2NO₂(g) ← N₂O₄(g)
At the beginning, only NO₂(g) is in the sealed container. The NO₂ concentration is maximum, and the rate of the forward reaction is maximum.
As the reaction progresses, the concentration of NO₂ diminishes, and, consequently, the rate of the forward reaction decreases.
As soon as the N₂O₄ appears, the reverse reaction starts. At the beginning the rate is low, but as the N₂O₄ concentration increases the rate of the reverse reaction increases.
When both forward and reverse rates become equal the equilibrium has been reached. This is what is called a dynamical equilibrium.
Then, as per the choices, you have that, at equilibrium:
<u>A) No N₂O₄ is present</u>:
- False: as explained above, at equilibrium both NO₂ and N₂O₄ are present.
<u>B) No chemical reactions are occurring</u>.
- False: as explained above, at equilibrium both forward and reverse reaction are occurring at the same rate.
<u>C) The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal</u>.
- True: as explained, this is the meaning of dynamic equilibrium.
<u>D) The maximum number of molecules has been reached</u>.
- False: the number of molecules of each compound at equilibrium will be given by the constant of equiibrium, Keq = [N₂O₄] / [NO₂]², and this value varies with the temperature.
Chemical symbols
Explanation:
Chemical symbols are used to represent and identify elements in chemistry. Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split into simpler substances by chemical means.
They are made up of only one kind of atoms.
- Each element is symbolized by a chemical symbol.
- A chemical symbol consists of:
- A capital letter
- A capital letter followed by a small letter derived from English or Latin or Greek name of the element.
Examples are:
Hydrogen H
Nitrogen N

IT will be Refraction of light
Answer:
The correct option is;
d. Explicit knowledge
Explanation:
Explicit knowledge is the knowledge that can be easily articulated documented stored in a retrieval system accesses, transmitted and shared with others
Tacit knowledge is the skill developed by an individual based on actual experience such that such knowledge comprise of both facts and perspectives
Hence explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge are complementary
The operations performed by Kaia include documentation, storing in a retrieval system (her project report) and accessing what she documented, this is an example of explicit knowledge.
Warm air can “hold” more water vapor than cool air because as the air warms its molecules move farther apart, making room for more molecules. This leads to the idea that as air cools its molecules move closer together, “squeezing” out water vapor.
