When you write the reaction, it is shown below:

CH₃OH + CH₃COO⁻  →  CH₃COOH + CH₃O⁻

Since no figure is given showing the direction of the curves, I can't be really sure what you are referring to. However, I would guess that the first arrow is from the H atom of methyl alcohol transferring to the acetate ion. As a result, the methyl alcohol turns into an anion called methoxide.

The average kinetic of a gas remains the same when A. It’s volume is decreased B. It’s tell us decreasedC. It’s tell is increase
skad [1K]

Answer

A. Its volume is decreased

Explanation

If we compress a gas (decrease) without changing its temperature, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles remains the same.

At a constant temperature, the kinetic energy of particles remains the same. If the volume is reduced at a constant temperature, then the number of particles in unit volume or area increases. If there is an increased number of particles in the unit area then it increases the frequency of collisions per unit area.

At constant temperature, the smaller the volume of the container, the larger the pressure.
