What effect will increasing temperature have on equilibrium?
professor190 [17]
Depends if the reaction is endo or exo thermic

Endothermic reaction
Increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right-hand side of the equilibrium. to oppose the change in temperature.


Exothermic reaction
Increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the left-hand side of the equilibrium. to oppose the change in temperature.

Hope that helps

Using the SDS, write the major hazard of concentrated HCL
shusha [124]

Answer:

According to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), the major harzard of concentrated HCl is that it may cause severe burns to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.

Explanation:

The SDS also informs that:

Most Important Hazards:

  • May cause severe burns to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
  •  Steam produced is irritating.
  •  Pollution of rivers and water bodies by changing the pH. Affects flora and fauna that comes in contact with acid.

Product Effects:

  •  If in direct contact with eyes will cause serious burns and vision loss.

Adverse effects to human health:

  •  Inhalation causes severe respiratory tract irritation. May cause pulmonary edema. The contact  with the skin causes burns, which can lead to dermatitis. Prolonged contact of acid leads to  visual damage to vision loss. If swallowed, may cause burns to the mucous membranes of the mouth and  digestive system.

Environmental Effects:

  •  Affects rivers and streams by changing the pH of the water. May contaminate the soil. Vapors may  temporarily affect air quality.

Physical and chemical hazards:

  •  Reacts with metals such as; iron, aluminum, zinc, magnesium, among others, forming hydrogen, which  mixed with air may cause explosion and air displacement upon ignition under  specific.

The equation for the formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is shown below. What is the formula for the equilibrium con
WINSTONCH [101]

First, make sure to balance your equation.

3H2(g) + N2(g) ⇄ 2NH3(g)

Now, you can write your Kc expression. Remember that Kc is products over reactants, and the exponent for each product or reactant is based on its coefficient.

Kc = [NH3]^2 / [H2]^3[N2]

Which would have a higher pH, a 0.1 M solution of a strong acid, or a weak acid? Why?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.1 M weak acid

Explanation:

The term pH simply means power of hydrogen which is basically a log (the exponent to base 10 of the concentration) of the concentration of the hydrogen ions.

Weak acids have a higher pH since their hydrogen concentration is lower than that of strong acids.
