Explanation:
When a constraint such as a change in temperature, concentration or pressure is imposed on a reaction system in equilibrium, the system will readjust itself in such a way as to annul the constraint. This readjustment occurs when the equilibrium position shifts towards the left or right in order to annul the constraint.
a. increasing the concentration of CO: When the concentration of CO is increased, the equilibrium position shifts to the right in order to annul the constraint. This means that more CO2 is produced in the system while the concentration of CO and O2 are decreased until equilibrium is reestablished.
b. decreasing the amount of O2: When the amount of O2 is decreased, the equilibrium position will shift to the left and more CO and O2 are produced while the concentration of CO2 decreases until equilibrium is reestablished.
c. decreasing the the volume of the system: When the volume of the system is decreased, the equilibrium position shifts towards the right hand side where there is less total volume. Hence the concentration of CO and O2 decreases while the concentration of CO2 increases.
Answer:
Explanation:
The second one is quite simple. CH4 (methane) is the main component for natural gas. It is used to heat houses in many many areas. It it heats a house, it must give off heat. It is exothermic.
The first one is much less common and hard to reason. I think it is easier to see the reverse reaction
O2 ===> 2O
O2 is a fairly stable molecule. It takes energy to break the molecules apart. That makes this reaction endothermic.
So the reaction you are given is just the opposite. It must be exothermic.
2O ===> O2 must be exothermic.
It has 5 atoms and the amount of protons and electrons it has.
Answer: The correct option is 1.
Explanation: Endothermic reactions are the reactions in which heat is provided to break down the reactant molecules.
In option 1:
The stronger intermolecular forces between the particles in solid molecule are broken down to convert into gaseous form. Hence, some energy in the form of heat is provided to move them far apart. Therefore, it is considered as an endothermic reaction.
In option 2, 3 and 4:
All the other processes involves the formation of bonds and thus there is no need to provide any energy.
