Answer:

Pentacarbon heptasilicide.

Explanation:

In order to name the following compound, we need to identify whether it is molecular or ionic.

Molecular compounds consist of non-metal atoms, while ionic compounds would have metal cations in their composition.

In the given compound, C_5Si_7, we have two non-metals, carbon and silicon, meaning we should follow the molecular compound naming rules. The rules involve using prefixes to state the number of individual atoms.

The two prefixes required here are 'penta' for 'five' to indicate 5 carbon atoms present and 'hepta' for 'seven' to indicate 7 silicon atoms present.

The first part of the name would be pentacarbon (notice that the standard name for the first element is used). The second part would be heptasilicide (notice that the second atom would have an ending of -ide followed by the standard beginning of silicon).

AURORKA [14]

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction,the reaction shifts forward.

The explanation is given below.

Explanation:

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased,then the equilibrium will shift to decrease the temperature.

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is decreased,then the equilibrium will shift to increase the temperature.

During the formation of the ammonia,it gives off heat.So it is an exothermic reaction.

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

A decrease in the temperature favors the reaction that is exothermic (the forward reaction)because it produces energy.Therefore,if the temperature is decreased,the yield of the ammonia increases.

<em>Therefore if the temperature is increased,the reaction shifts forward and the yield of the ammonia increases and it is an exothermic reaction.</em>
