Answer:

A) increasing the pressure

Explanation:

Given the exothermic reaction:

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ↔  2SO₃(g)

the question asks what will make the number of moles of SO₃(g) to increase.

When an equilibrium is disturbed, the system will shift in order to counteract the change (see <em>Le Chatelier's Principle</em>) So <em>when the pressure is increased in a reaction involving gases, the equilibrium will shift trying to decrease the number of moles </em>(because pressure is produced by molecules hitting the container), that is in this case it will shift towards the right side, towards the production of SO₃, thus increasing the number of moles of SO₃.

The number of moles in the right side is 2 and the number of moles in the left side is 3.

Answer:

Bottle 2 shows the vinegar has a molarity of 2M acetic acid

Explanation:

2M of acetic acid has higher concentration of acetic acid as compared to other vinegar. In 2M of acetic acid is equals to 120 gram of acetic acid in 500 ml of water which is quiet higher than other concentration of acetic acid in vinegar which is 4%. So Mr. Holmes has to use 2M of acetic acid which will produced high intense eruption in the volcano and win the national science fair contest.

2HCO3 - + Ca2+ CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O Bicarbonate (HCO3-) combines with calcium ions in the water to make calcium carbonate (CaCO3, limestone). This process can occur both within organisms such as corals or as a simple chemical reaction in the water itself.
