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.

How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.

In 1939, the use of DDT (a powerful synthetic chemical) as an insecticide was discovered. The United States adopted its widespre

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.

Explanation:

At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.

However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.

It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.

You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.

A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation

Explanation:

When a solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is mixed with hydrochloric acid, HCl, the compounds dissociate into the ions Na+, OH-, H+ and Cl-. The hydrogen and hydroxide ions react to form water, but the sodium and chlorine ions stay in solution unchanged.
