What happens if more product is added to a system at equilibrium apex?

1 answer:

6 0

According to Le Chatelier's Principle," If a system (reaction) at equilibrium is subjected to any external stress, either by changing pressure, temperature or concentration of reactants or products, the system will adjust itself in such a way that the effect is minimized".

So, when more product is added to reaction at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift in backward direction in order to minimize the effect of concentration of product.

Result:
With the addition of product, the rate of backward reaction will increase resulting in increasing the concentration of reactants.

Answer: The above statement is true

Explanation:

Mannitol salt agar is a medium which contain high concentration of salt,about 7.5%-10%. It is commonly used as a selective and differential growth medium.Because of its high concentration of salt,it inhibits growth if non halophiles(as they only grow best in media containing less tha 0.2M salts). If the bacteria can ferment mannitol,an acidic byproduct is formed which turns phenol red agar into yellow.So only those bacteria grow well which can ferment mannitol.

Under which conditions (in terms of kinetic energy) does boiling occur? How is the kinetic energy in the liquid increased?

Simora [160]

Explanation:

Boiling is defined as a process in which vapor pressure of a liquid substance becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

During this change liquid and vapors remain in equilibrium and the equation for this change is as follows.

$X(l) \rightleftharpoons X(g)$

Therefore, when boiling takes place then average kinetic energy of particles in liquid phase equals to the average kinetic energy of particles in vapor phase.

Hence, we can increase the kinetic energy of particles in liquid phase by increasing the temperature because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature as follows.

K.E = $\frac{3}{2}kT$
