<em>Lavoiser's precision in the importance of the weighing process, the conservation law of the masses,and the term oxygen made Lavoisier transform the field of Chemistry in the late 1700’s</em>

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier is a great scientist born in France  

He compiled the first system of naming chemicals by using the basis of the modern periodic system  

He also stated about the term oxygen and stated that the combustion process involved two components, namely oxygen and substances that were burned. And he also showed that air consists of nitrogen and oxygen  

His biggest discovery is about the law of conservation of mass.  

He experimented by reacting mercury and oxygen in a closed space to produce mercury oxide  

And when heated, this mercury oxide will again produce the same amount of mercury and oxygen in the initial conditions  

From here, he finally put forward the conservation law of the masses, namely:  

<em>In a closed system, the total mass of the substance before the reaction will be equal to the total mass of the reaction product.  </em>

In general, the reaction takes place in the open air. If the reaction results in the form of gas as in combustion, the mass of the reaction results will be smaller than the original mass. Or if the reaction binds to a larger than the environment then the reaction results will produce a mass greater than the original mass.  

For example, in a paper combustion reaction the mass of combustion ash is smaller than the mass of paper that is burned because there is a gas released into the air  

Lavoiser's precision in the importance of the weighing process in chemical reactions causes an important basis in the calculation of chemistry for the progress of research in the future

Lavoiser's discovery of oxygen in the air was also a theory which in his time could not be fully accepted by his colleagues.  

Modern periodic systems and lists of chemical elements are also based on naming elements with their names  

So naturally Lavoiser was called the founder of Modern Chemistry

Answer:The volume increases by 11%

Explanation:

When the pressure is decreased, the volume must definitely increase, to maintain the same pressure, the temperature must then also be increased as we see in the question. The volume was increased just as the pressure decreased and the temperature had to be increased to maintain a constant pressure. We have applied the general gas equation in solving the problem.

Xas shown in table 15.2, kp for the equilibrium n21g2 + 3 h21g2 δ 2 nh31g2 is 4.51 * 10-5 at 450 °c. for each of the mixtures li
Agata [3.3K]
According to the balanced equation of this reaction:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ↔ 2NH3(g)
and when we have Kp = 4.51 x 10^-5 so, in the Kp equation we will substitute by the value of the P for each gas to compare the value with Kp = 4.51x10^-5

a) when we have 98 atm NH3, 45 atm N2, 55 atm H2 by substitution in Kp equation:
Kp= [p(NH3)]^2 / [p(N2)]*[p(H2)]^3 = [98]^2 / [45]*[55]^3
                                                        = 1.28x10^-3 
So here the value is higher than the value of the given Kp.
so the reaction will go leftwards toward the reactants ( to reduce the value of Kp) to reach the equilibrium. 
b) When 57 atm NH3, 143 atm N2, No H2 so like a) by substitution:
Kp = [57]^2 / [143] = 22.7
So the reaction will go leftwards toward the reactants to reduce the value of Kp to reach equilibrium.
c) when 13 atm NH3, 27 atm N2, 82 H2
Kp = [13]^2 / [27]*[82]^3 = 1.135 x 10^-5 So this value is lower than the Kp which is given.
 so, the reaction will go towards the right toward the products to increase the value of Kp to reach the equilibrium.
