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.

When 18.5 g of HgO(s) is decomposed to form Hg(l) and O2(g), 7.75 kJ of heat is absorbed at standard-state conditions. What is t

taurus [48]

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of HgO is -90.7 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The reaction between Hg and oxygen is as follows.

$\text{Hg(l)}+\frac{1}{2}{O_{2}\rightarrow \text{HgO(s)}$

From the given,

Molar mass of HgO = 216.59 g/mol

Mass of HgO decomposed = 18.5 g

Amount of heat absorbed = 7.75 kJ

From the reaction,

The standard enthalpy of formation = $+7.75\times\frac{kJ}{18.5 g}\frac{216.59}{1mol} \,\,= +90.7 kJ/mol$

During the decomposition of 1 mol of HgO , 90.7 kJ of energy absorbed.

For the formation of 1 mol of HgO , 90.7 kJ of energy is release

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of mercury(II)Oxide is -90.7 kJ/mol

What state of matter is at 35 Celsius

Otrada [13]

Different forms of matter have different melting/boiling points. For example, at 100 degrees Celsius, H2O (water) will turn from lliquid to gas. But NaOH (table salt) doesn't even go from solid to liquid until some 800 degrees Celsius. So, in order to figure out which state matter is at 35 Celsius, you'd have to be more specific about what kind of matter...
