I would believe the answer to this question is D. According to the concept of the tragedy of the commons, shared resources are used by more than one organism. Due to the large consumption of shared resources they start to be fewer and fewer in number and over time if we are not careful they will be depleted.
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".
<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
- Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
-
Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>
<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
b. change into a different element altogether.
Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.
<h3><u>
Explanation;</u></h3>
- Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
- <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
- <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
-
Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>
Answer:
P4(s) + 5 O2 (g)→ P4O10
Explanation:
If we desire to write a balanced chemical reaction equation, the rule of thumb is simple; the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation must be the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation. Once this condition is satisfied, the reaction equation is said to be balanced.
As we can see, we need one mole of P4 and five moles of O2 to produce one mole of P4O10.
Answer:
1. C4H8 + 6O2 -----> 4CO2 + 4H20
2. 3836.77 kcal
Explanation:
1. Balanced equation for the complete combustion of cyclobutane:
C4H8 + 6O2 -----> 4CO2 + 4H20
2. Heat of combustion of cyclobutane = 650.3 kcal/mol
Molecular weight of cyclobutane, C4H8 = 56.1 g/mol
Mole of C4H8 : mass of cyclobutane/Molecular weight of cyclobutane
Mole of C4H8 = 331/56.1 = 5.9 mol
Energy released during combustion = 5.9 mol × 650.3 kcal/mol = 3836.77kcal
Therefore the energythat is released during the complete combustion of 331 grams of cyclobutane is 3836.77kcal
