This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Ammonia is produced commercially by the Haber reaction:

$N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)+Heat$

The formation of ammonia is favored by

A) an increase in pressure

B) a decrease in pressure

C) removal of N₂(g)

D) removal of H₂(g)

Answer : The correct option is, (A) an increase in pressure.

Explanation :

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

Le-Chatelier's 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.

Increase the pressure :

If the pressure in the equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where fewer total molecules are shown in the balanced chemical equation.

In the given reaction, there are 4 molecules present on reactant side and 2 molecules on product side. That means, less molecules present on product side. Thus, the reaction will shift in right direction that is towards the product.

Removal the reactant molecule :

If any of reactant molecule in the equilibrium is removed, then the equilibrium will shift in left direction that is towards the reactant.

Hnece, the formation of ammonia is favored by an increase in pressure.

Which ionic equation describes a redox reaction? A. Ag(+) + Cl- = AgCl B. 2H(+) + CO3(2-) = CO2 + H2O C. H(+) + OH(-) = H2O D. Z

Gennadij [26K]

Answer: The correct option is D. $Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. It is known as the reaction in which the exchange of electrons takes place.

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species decreases.

From the given ionic reactions:

$Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

On the reactant side:

Oxidation number of Zn = 0

Oxidation number of Cu = +2

On the product side:

Oxidation number of Cu = 0

Oxidation number of Zn = +2

As the oxidation number of Zn is increasing from 0 to +2. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Similarly, the oxidation number of Cu is decreasing from +2 to 0. Thus, it is getting reduced. Therefore, forming a redox couple

Hence, the correct option is D. $Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

Ahat [919]

Answer:

0.328 atm

Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant calculated based on the pressure, and it depends only on the gas substances. It will be the multiplication of partial pressures of the products raised to their coefficients divided by the multiplication of partial pressures of the reactants raised to their coefficients.

For the equation given, the stoichiometry is 1 mol of NH₃ for 1 mol of H₂S, so they will have the same partial pressure in equilibrium, let's call it p. So:

Kp = pxp

0.108 = p²

p = √0.108

p = 0.328 atm, which is the partial pressure of the ammonia.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

We can use the atomic model to demonstrate the ways in which scientists refine and build off each other's findings because of the fact that once this model was created, it brought with it other models and inventions, such as the periodic table and other theories about our known universe.
