The rate of the backward reaction increases
Explanation:
It is evident that if the reaction is left to proceed spontaneously, the forward reaction is favored because it results in a decrease in pressure in the system (The total reactants have 5 moles and the products have 3 in total).
Increasing H₂O concentration is then reaction, therefore, stymies the forward reaction and favors the reserves reaction. This is because the reverse reaction will lead to reduced pressure.
The half-life of the reaction is 50 minutes
Data;
- Time = 43 minutes
- Type of reaction = first order
- Amount of Completion = 45%
<h3>Reaction Constant</h3>
Let the initial concentration of the reaction be X
The reactant left = (1 - 0.45) X = 0.55 X = X
For a first order reaction
<h3>Half Life </h3>
The half-life of a reaction is said to be the time required for the initial amount of the reactant to reach half it's original size.
Substitute the values
The half-life of the reaction is 50 minutes

This is an oxidation reduction reaction
oxidation happens when the species gives out electrons.Oxidation state of the element Cu increases from 0 to +2
Cu ---> Cu²⁺ +2e --1)
Reduction happens when the species gains electrons.
Oxidation state of N reduces from +5 to +2
4H⁺ + NO₃⁻ + 3e ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
To balance the reactions, number of electrons need to be balanced.
Multiply 1st reaction by 3
Multiply 2nd reaction by 2
3Cu ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ + 6e ---> 2NO + 4H₂O
add the 2 equations
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ --> 3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O
add 6NO₃⁻ ions to each side
3Cu + 8HNO₃ --> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
the balanced redox reaction equation is as follows;
3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) --> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq)+ 2NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)
