The given equilibrium reaction is,

2 SO_{2} (g) + O_{2}(g)  2 SO_{3} (g) + Energy

The given reaction is exothermic. So, heat energy will be a product. Therefore, decreasing the temperature (heat energy) would lead to the formation of more products as when the amount of energy which is a product is reduced, there is more room for the products to form.

Increasing the pressure would shift the equilibrium towards that side which has least number of moles of the gaseous substance. Hence, here increasing the pressure would lead to the formation of more products by shifting the equilibrium towards the right side.

Decreasing the volume would make the equilibrium shift towards the least number of moles of the gaseous substance. So, here in this equilibrium decreasing the volume would lead to the formation of more products.

Answer:  increase the temperature

Explanation: Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

2SO_2+O_2\leftrightharpoons 2SO_3+energy

This is a type of Exothermic reaction because heat is released in the reaction.

Option A: Increase the temperature

If the temperature is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in temperature occurs. As, this is an exothermic reaction, forward reaction will increase the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction, products will decrease.

Option B: Decrease the volume  and Option C: increase in pressure

If the volume of the container is decreased, the pressure will increase according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is greater at the reactant side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction, products will increase.

Option D: Decrease the temperature

If the temperature is decreased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in temperature occurs. As, this is an exothermic reaction, forward reaction will increase the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction, products will increase.

What is the change in internal energy (ΔΕ) of a system when 5 kJ of work is done on the system while it releases 13 kJ of energy
meriva

The change in internal energy (ΔΕ) of a system : -8 kJ

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The laws of thermodynamics 1 state that: energy can be changed but cannot be destroyed or created  

The equation is:  

 \tt \Delta U=Q+W

Energy owned by the system is expressed as internal energy (U)  

This internal energy can change if it absorbs heat Q (U> 0), or releases heat (U <0). Or the internal energy can change if the system does work or accepts work (W)  

The sign rules for heat and work are set as follows:  

• The system receives heat, Q +  

• The system releases heat, Q -  

• The system does work, W -  

• the system accepts work, W +  

5 kJ of work is done on the system : W = +5 kJ

releases 13 kJ of energy to the surroundings : Q = -13 kJ

\tt \Delta E=-13+5=-8~kJ

1. We have new knowledge of how charge can be transferred from one object to another
NeX [460]

Charge can be transferred from one object to another in three way conduction, polarization, and friction

Whenever electrons are transferred between objects, neutral matter becomes charged and three ways this can occur are referred to as conduction, polarization, and friction conduction means when there is direct contact between materials that differ in their ability to give up or accept electrons when two different materials are rubbed together, there is a transfer of electrons from one material to the other material and this causes one object to become positively charged (the electron loser) and the other object to become negatively charged (the electron gainer)

Here given object is water + balloon; balloon + wall; tape then you rub a balloon against your clothes and it sticks to the wall, you are adding a surplus of electrons (negative charges) to the surface of the balloon the wall is now more positively charged than the balloon and we tested the conductivity of deionized water positively charged

Know more about charge transferred one object to another
