Answer:

According to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of OH^{-} and keep same equilibrium constant

Explanation:

In this buffer following equilibrium exists -

NH_{3}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_{4}^{+}(aq.)+OH^{-}(aq.)

So, OH^{-} is involved in the above equilibrium.

When a strong base is added to this buffer, then concentration of OH^{-} increases. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, above equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of OH^{-} and keep same equilibrium constant.

Therefore excess amount of OH^{-} combines with NH_{4}^{+} to produce ammonia and water. So, effect of addition of strong base on pH of buffer gets minimized.

vova2212 [387]

Answer: Yes we agree with the student's claim.

Explanation:

When the molecules are present in smaller size, more reactants can react as decreasing the size increases the surface area of the reactants which will enhance the contact of molecules.Hence, more products will form leading to increased rate of reaction.

On increasing the temperature will make more reactant molecules will have sufficient energies to cross the energy barrier and thus the number of effective collisions increases, thus leading to more products and increased rate of reaction.

When the solution is stirred , the molecule's kinetic energy and thus the rate of reaction increases.

Thus smaller size, stirring and increase of temperature will make the solution quickly.

What phase of matter has enough kinetic energy to partially overcome the intermolecular attraction between the particles, allowi
cluponka [151]

The answer is; liquid phase

The characteristics described in the question are those of a liquid. The forces between liquid particles are weaker than the forces between solid particles because the particles are further apart. The particles are not held in a  fixed position in the structure hence it can flow and take the shape of the container in which it is in.
