Answer:
water, when the metastable state is reached, is cooled below the zero temperature. It freezes abruptly. this is called metastable. They are not at equilibrium per se; as at negative temperatures the only equilibrium state of water is ice.

1. big bang-the most accepted theory on the origin of the universe <span>
2. steady state-</span>all is the same and will always stay the same <span>
3. oscillating universe-</span>agrees with the big bang theory, but insists the universe expanded much quicker <span>
4. inflation-</span>it's like an inflating and deflating balloon that never stops
Answer:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the reaction temperature of an exothermic reaction causes a shift to the left and decreasing the reaction temperature causes a shift to the right.
Explanation:
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) ⇌6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
We are told that the forward reaction is exothermic, meaning heat is removed from the reacting substance to the surroundings.
According to Le Chatelier's principle,
1. for an exothermic reaction, on increasing the temperature, there is a shift in equilibrium to the left and formation of the product is favoured.
2. if the temperature of the system is decreased, the equilibrium shifts to right and the formation of the reactants is favoured.
3. if the reaction temperature is kept constant, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to the right nor to the left.
