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.

Which expression correctly represents a balanced reduction half-reaction?
jolli1 [7]
For answering for the question, there exists four choices:
1) Na+  +  e- -------------- Na
2) Na --------Na+   +  e-
3) Cl2 +   2e-  ------------ Cl-
4) 2Cl-  ---------Cl2 +  2e-

reduction half-reaction general formula is 
oxidant + e - or +  -------- Product

so in our case the answer is 
1) Na+  +  e- -------------- Na (exactly balanced)

Which chemical has the least solubility at 80 c
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

But since the solubility product constant for each compound is provided, their relative solubility can be ranked from highest to lowest. Depending on the ranking above, it is evident that aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3 A l ( O H ) 3 has the lowest solubility at 25 Celsius degreesAs temperature increases, its solubility increases as well. Notice, however, that it does not increase significantly. In fact, you can expect to be able to dissolve no more than 40 g of sodium chloride per 100 g of water at 80∘C
