Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to produce more reactants.

Explanation:

According to the Le- Chatelier principle,

At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.

The equilibrium can be disturb,

By changing the concentration

By changing the volume

By changing the pressure

By changing the temperature

Consider the following chemical reaction.

Chemical reaction:

2SO₂ + O₂ ⇄ 2SO₃

In this reaction the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of Product.

When the concentration of product is increased the system will proceed in backward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when product concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state. As the concentration of SO₃ increased the reaction proceed in backward direction to regain the equilibrium state and more reactant is formed.

I think the correct answer would be <span>requires energy as heat. From the Le Chatelier's principle, when a reaction needs energy to react, increasing the temperature would favor the reaction. This is called an endothermic reaction. Hope this answers the question.</span>

How did Niels Bohr describe electrons in his atomic model

Reptile [31]

Answer: Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus.

so C would seems to be right.

Explanation: The energy of an electron depends on the size of the orbit and is lower for smaller orbits. Radiation can occur only when the electron jumps from one orbit to another. The atom will be completely stable in the state with the smallest orbit, since there is no orbit of lower energy into which the electron can jump.

A metal foil has a threshold frequency of 5.45 \times 10^{14} \text{ } \text{Hz}5.45Ã—10 14 Hz. Which of the colors of visible l

nalin [4]

Answer:

Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

Explanation:

According to Einstein's equation of photoelectric effect, the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron is the difference between the energy of the incident photon and the work function of the metal. The work function of the metal referee to the minimum energy that must be supplied in order to eject an electron from a metal surface. The energy of the incident photon must exceed the work function of the metal.

When we look at the electromagnetic spectrum, only the selected colours have frequency above the threshold frequency as shown by the image attached below.
