1) The forward reaction is N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO
(that reaction requires special contitions because at normal pressures and temperatures N2 and O2 do not react to form another compound.
2) The equiblibrium equation is
N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇄ 2NO
3) Then, the reverse reaction is
2NO → N2(g) + O2(g)
Answer: 2NO → N2(g) + O2(g)
Answer:
The advantages described below
Explanation:
Advantages of a balanced chemical equation versus word equation:
- easier to read: chemical equations typically only take one line and they include all the relevant information needed. They are short-hand notations for what we describe in words.
- balanced chemical equations show molar ratio in which reactants react and the molar ratio of the products. Those are coefficients in front of the species. This is typically not included in a word equation, for example, hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide. The latter statement doesn't describe the molar ratio and stoichiometry.
- includes relevant information, such as catalysts, temperature and pressure above the arrow in the equation. We wouldn't have this in a word equation most of the time.
- shows the stoichiometry of each compound itself, e. g. if we state 'ammonia', we don't know what atoms it consists of as opposed to
. - includes states of matter: aqueous, liquid, gas, solid. This would often be included in a word equation, however.
Answer:
Option B, aspirin’s ester group provides greater digestibility to aspirin
Explanation:
Aspirin ester group has three parts
- carboxylic acid functional group (R-COOH)
- ester functional group (R-O-CO-R')
- aromatic group (benzene ring)
Aspirin is a weak acid and hence it cannot dissolve in water readily. The reaction of Aspirin ester group with water is as follows -
aspirin
(acetylsalicylic acid) + water → salicylic acid + acetic acid
(ethanoic acid)
Aspirin passes through the stomach and remains unchanged until it reaches the intestine where it hydrolyses ester to form the active compound.
