When a substance is oxidized it is called a(n): select one:

1 answer:

4 0

When a substance is oxidized, its oxidation number increases. The reduction in oxidation number is due to lose of electron(s) to another substance in the reactant side. Substance which gets oxidize must reduce others. Thus it is a reducing agent.

Consider this equilibrium reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, occurring in a sealed flexible container. CO(g) + 3

wariber [46]

Answer:

More H2(g) is added to the container : Towards products.

CO is removed from the container : Towards reactants.

More CH4(g) is added to the container : Towards reactants

H2O(g) is removed from the container : Towards products.

The contents of the container are heated up. : Towards the reactants.

The contents of the container are cooled down : Towards the products.

The pressure inside the container is increased. :Towards the products

The container is stretched to increase the volume: Towards the reactants.

Explanation: :

CO(g) + 3 H2g) → CH4(g) + H2O(g)+ heat

There is released heat, so this reaction is exothermic

If the H2 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase. Towards products.

If the CO is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards reactants.

If the CH4 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase. Towards reactants

If the H2O is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards products.

If the temperature is increased, the system will reduce the amount of heat released. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants.

This because the extra heat / energy must be used.

If the temperature is decreased, the system will produce more heat So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products.

This because more heat /energy needs to be produced to make up for the loss of heat (energy).

If the pressure is increased, the system will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products. An increase of pressure has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the volume.

If the volume is increased, this means the pressure is decreased, the system will shift to the side with most moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants. An increase of volume has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the pressure.

Why does a cake rise when you bake it? ♡

VARVARA [1.3K]

The reaction of baking soda or baking powder with the liquid in the batter: These ingredients react together and cause air bubbles to form. ... Heat of the oven: The heat of the oven can cause baking powder to react further and cause more air bubbles, and the heat also sets the structure of the cake.

Safety glasses are worn in the lab for

zavuch27 [327]

Safety glasses should be worn any time you are doing an experiment, especially one that involves chemicals or chemical reactions. They prevent chemicals or other materials from getting on or in your eye, and can prevent anything from mild discomfort to permanent blindness.

Some pairs of safety glasses have magnifying glasses on them, similar to bifocals. They can be used to more carefully examine something in an experiment.
