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 number of particles in 1 mole of hydrogen gas is ________.
ivanzaharov [21]
Hidrogen gas is a diatomic gas, this is H2, which means that one molecule of gas has two atoms (every molecule of hydrogen gas consists in H2).

The particles in gases are the molecules, not atoms.

So, every molecule is a particle, and when you are told that you have 1 mole of hygrogen gas means that you have 1 mole of H2 molecules which is the same that 1 mole of particles.

Therefore, the answer is one mole.

A gas has a volume of 240 mL and a pressure of 0.99 atm. If the pressure is decreased to 0.951 atm, what is the new volume of th
irakobra [83]

V2 = 250 ml

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 0.99 atm. V1 = 240 ml

P2 = 0.951 atm. V2 = ?

We can use Boyle's law to solve for V2

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = (P1/P2)V1

= (0.99 atm/0.951 atm)(240 ml)

= 250. ml
