Answer:
Only changes in temperature will influence the equilibrium constant 
. The system will shift in response to certain external shocks. At the new equilibrium 
will still be equal to , but the final concentrations will be different.
The question is asking for sources of the shocks that will influence the value of . For most reversible reactions:
- External changes in the relative concentration of the products and reactants.
For some reversible reactions that involve gases:
- Changes in pressure due to volume changes.
Catalysts do not influence the value of . See explanation.
Explanation:
.
Similar to the rate constant, the equilibrium constant depends only on:
the standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction, and
the absolute temperature (in degrees Kelvins.)
The reversible reaction is in a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. Reactants are constantly converted to products; products are constantly converted back to reactants. However, at equilibrium 
the two processes balance each other. The concentration of each species will stay the same.
Factors that alter the rate of one reaction more than the other will disrupt the equilibrium. These factors shall change the rate of successful collisions and hence the reaction rate.
- Changes in concentration influence the number of particles per unit space.
- Changes in temperature influence both the rate of collision and the percentage of particles with sufficient energy of reaction.
For reactions that involve gases,
- Changing the volume of the container will change the concentration of gases and change the reaction rate.
However, there are cases where the number of gases particles on the reactant side and the product side are equal. Rates of the forward and backward reaction will change by the same extent. In such cases, there will not be a change in the final concentrations. Similarly, catalysts change the two rates by the same extent and will not change the final concentrations. Adding noble gases will also change the pressure. However, concentrations stay the same and the equilibrium position will not change.

Given
6.00 L water with 6.00 L of ethylene glycol(ρ=1.1132 g/cm³= 1.1132 kg/L)
Required
The molality
Solution
molality = mol of solute/ 1 kg solvent
mol of solute = mol of ethylene glycol
- mass of ethylene glycol :
= volume x density
= 6 L x 1.1132 kg/L
= 6.6792 kg
= 6679.2 g
- mol of ethylene glycol (MW=62.07 g/mol)
=mass : MW
=6679.2 : 62.07
=107.608
6 L water = 6 kg water(ρ= 1 kg/L)
Q = mcΔT = (4.00 g)(0.129 J/g•°C)(40.85 °C - 0.85 °C)
Q = 20.6 J of energy was involved (more specifically, 20.6 J of heat energy was absorbed from the surroundings by the sample of solid gold).
Answer:
5.7 moles of O2
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced decomposition equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
2KClO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of KClO3 decomposed to produce 3 moles of O2.
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of O2 produced by the reaction of 3.8 moles of KClO3.
Since 100% yield of O2 is obtained, it means that both the actual yield and theoretical yield of O2 are the same. Thus, we can obtain the number of mole of O2 produced as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of KClO3 decomposed to produce 3 moles of O2.
Therefore, 3.8 moles of KClO3 will decompose to produce = (3.8 × 3)/2 = 5.7 moles of O2.
Thus, 5.7 moles of O2 were obtained from the reaction.
