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.

A sodium ion has a radius of 1.16 x 10^-10 m and a nearby fluoride ion has a radius of 1.9 x 10^-10 m. Determine the distance be
Ann [662]

The answer is: the distance between two nuclei is 2.35×10⁻¹⁰ m.

r(Na⁺) = 1.16×10⁻¹⁰ m; radius of sodium cation.

r(F⁻) = 1.9×10⁻¹⁰ m; radius of fluoride anion.

d(NaF) = r(Na⁺) + r(F⁻).

d(NaF) = 1.16×10⁻¹⁰ m + 1.9×10⁻¹⁰ m.

d(NaF) = 2.35×10⁻¹⁰ m; distance between two nuclei.

The sum of ionic radii of the cation and anion gives the distance between the ions in a crystal lattice.

What is wrong with the statement below?
pychu [463]
All chemicals can cause harm. When only a very large amount of the chemical can cause damage, the chemical is considered to be practically non-toxic. When a tiny amount is harmful, the chemical is considered to be highly toxic.

The density of silver is 10.5 g/cm3. what would be the mass (in grams) of a piece of silver that occupies a volume of 23.6 cm3?
Keith_Richards [23]
Hey there : !

density = 10.5 g/cm³

volume = 23.6 cm³

therefore:

D = m / V

10.5 = m / 23.6

m = 10.5 * 23.6

m = 247.8 g

hope this helps!
