Question requires a change resulting in an increase in both forward and reverse reactions. Now lets discuss options one by one and see there impact on rate of reactions.

1) <span>A decrease in the concentration of the reactants:
                                                                                       
When concentration of reactant is decreased it will shift the equilibrium in Backward direction, so resulting in increasing the backward reaction and decreasing the forward direction. Hence, this option is incorrect.

2) </span><span>A decrease in the surface area of the products:
                                                                               Greater the surface Area greater is the chances of collision and greater will be the rate of reaction. As the surface area of products is decreased it will not favor the backward reaction. Hence again this statement is incorrect according to given statement.

3) </span><span>An increase in the temperature of the system:
                                                                             An increase in temperature will shift the reaction in endothermic side. Hence, if the reaction is endothermic, an increase in temperature will increase the rate of forward direction or if the reaction is exothermic it will increase the rate of reverse direction. Hence, this option is correct according to given statement.

4) </span><span>An increase in the activation energy of the forward reaction:
                                                                                                   An increase in Activation energy will decrease the rate of reaction, either it is forward or reverse. So this is incorrect.

Result:
          Hence, the correct answer is,"</span>An increase in the temperature of the system".

In the following compound (HCl) How many electrons are gained and lost by each atom?
Verizon [17]

Explanation:

In HCL, one positive atom is given to chlorine from hydrogen so that it can complete it's octate. chlorine take one electron from hydrogen.

In NaCl, Sodium takes one electron from chlorine to complete its orbit with eight electrons. Chlorine gives one electron to sodium.

The palmetto landfill in greer, sc supplies over 50% of the energy for the bmw plant there. this reduces carbon dioxide emission
Verdich [7]
Hello there!

The answer is 92000 tons per year

The palmetto landfill supplies methane (CH₄) for the BMW plant there. The gas is used to operate the turbines used to power the BMW campus. It reduces carbon dioxide emissions because the combustion of methane produces fewer CO₂ than the combustion of other gases like propane or butane, which are commonly used for powering turbines.

Give an example of how you could use different reference frames for the same motion.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Motion is defined as a change of position. How we perceive motion depends on our frame of reference. Frame of reference refers to something that is not moving with respect to an observer that can be used to detect motion.
