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".

The cycle in which water is changed and distributed to other areas is called
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: a.  water cycle

Explanation:

A water cycle can be define as the cycle of water in which water in various states like solid, liquid and gaseous forms circulates in different spheres of the earth. It describes how water evaporates from the surface of earth, the water vapors accumulate in the atmosphere, these water vapors become cool and condense in the form of rain or other kind of precipitations. The water cycle plays an important role in changing the weather condition of a region.

Explain why the total amount of energy does not decrease in an exergonic <br> chemical reaction
Zielflug [23.3K]

An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative (there is a net release of free energy),[1] indicating a spontaneous reaction. For processes that take place under constant pressure and temperature conditions, the Gibbs free energy is used whereas the Helmholtz energy is used for processes that take place under constant volume and temperature conditions.

Symbolically, the release of free energy, G, in an exergonic reaction (at constant pressure and temperature) is denoted as

{\displaystyle \Delta G=G_{\rm {products}}-G_{\rm {reactants}}<0.\,}

Although exergonic reactions are said to occur spontaneously, this does not imply that the reaction will take place at an observable rate. For instance, the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide is very slow in the absence of a suitable catalyst. It has been suggested that eager would be a more intuitive term in this context.[2]

More generally, the terms exergonic and endergonic relate to the free energy change in any process, not just chemical reactions. An example of an exergonic reaction is cellular respiration. This relates to the degrees of freedom as a consequence of entropy, the temperature, and the difference in heat released or absorbed.

By contrast, the terms exothermic and endothermic relate to the overall exchange of heat during a process
