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.

In your reaction you started with a solution that was approximately 8 M acetic acid and 4 M isopentyl alcohol. Use the equilibri

V125BC [204]

The final concentrations of water, isopentyl acetate, isopentyl alcohol, and acetic acid obtained on using equilibrium expression are 3.4M, 3.4M, 0.6M , 4.6M

Using ICE table:-

Acetic acid + Isopentyl alcohol ------> Isopentyl acetate + water

I 8M 4M 0 0

C 8-x 4-x +x +x

E 8-x 4-x +x +x

Equilibrium constant (Keq) = 4.2

On using the equilibrium expression -

Keq = [Product] / [Reactant]

Keq = x^2 / (8-x) (4-x )

4.2 = x^2 / 32 - 8x - 4x + x^2

x = 3.4

Concentration of acetic acid = 8-x = 8-3.4 = 4.6M

Concentration of isopentyl alcohol = 4-x = 4-3.4 = 0.6M

Concentration of isopentyl acetate = x = 3.4M

Concentration of water = x = 3.4M

as the bright sun shines upon the water the water slowly disappears the same sunlight gives energy to the surrounding plants to

Well when the sun makes water dissaper thats usually evaporation.

The chemical changes is when the plants absorb the energy from the sunlight and convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen gas. Physically nothing has changed. The plant still looks the sam changes occur internally these internal changes are chemical in nature.

What is the number of molecules of 140 g of CO?

kherson [118]

Answer:

3.01

$\times$

10-22

moles=mass/RMM

moles=140/28

=5moles

1mole=6.02*10-23

5moles=?

=3.01*10-22
