The given sentence is part of a longer question.

I found this question with the same sentence. So, I will help you using this question:

For the reaction N2O4<span>(g) ⇄ 2NO</span>2(g), a reaction mixture at a certain temperature initially contains both N2O4 and NO2 in their standard states (meaning they are gases with a pressure of 1 atm<span>).  If </span>Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before any reaction occurs?


(a) Q = K<span>;   The reaction </span>is at equilibrium.
(b) Q < K<span>;   The reaction </span>will proceed to the right.
(c) Q > K<span>;   The reaction </span>will proceed to the left.

The answer is the option (c) Q > K<span>; The reaction will proceed to the </span>left, since Qp<span> = </span>1<span>, and 1 > 0.15.</span>
Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant in term of the partial pressures of the gases.

Q is the reaction quotient. It is a measure of the progress of a chemical reaction.

The reaction quotient has the same form of the equilibrium constant but using the concentrations or partial pressures at any moment.

At equilibrium both Kp and Q are equal. Q = Kp

If Q < Kp then the reaction will go to the right (forward reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium,

If Q > Kp then the reaction will go to the left (reverse reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium.

Here, the state is that both pressures are 1 atm, so Q = (1)^2 / 1 = 1.

Since, Q = 1 and Kp = 0.15, Q > Kp and the reaction will proceed to the left.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

D. If the acid was separated from the vinegar, chicken bones wouldn't become bendy in the remaining vinegar.

Explanation:

The hypothesis states that the bone becomes bendy because of the acid in the vinegar, so therefore, if the acid is removed from the vinegar it won't become bendy.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Because they are normally dissolved in water

Explanation:

The phospholipids can act as molecules that are carry inside or outside the cells, to transport it they are dissolved in another hydrophilic media, in this way the hydrophilic part can be in the outside part of the group of moleucles stick together like in cell membranes that are conformed by a double lipidic layer, in which the hydrophobic part it in the inside part. The cells normally are surrounded by different water solutions as the blood or another solutions.
