Answer: option D. 4.5 seconds.
Explanation:
The equilibrium reaction is H₂O ⇄ H₂ + O₂
The chemical equilibrium is a dynamic one. Two reactions are happening symultaneously: the forward reaction (H₂O → H₂ + O₂) ,to the right, and the reverse reaction (H₂O ← H₂ + O₂), to the left. At equilibrium both reactions have the same rate, which makes that the total, measurable quantity of reactants and products remain constant.
In the figure you see:
- The vertical axis measures concentration.
- The horizontal axis measures time (seconds).
- The two blue lines, the concentrations of H₂ and O₂, become flat (reach a zero slope) between 4 and 5 seconds.
- The red line, the concentration of H₂O, becomes flat, also, between 4 and 5 seconds.
- Hence, the concentrations of the reactant and the products do not change after that time meaning that the reaction has reached the equilibrium at about 4.5 seconds.
Nuclear power plants can release hurtful chemicals into the environment while fossil fuel can be as efficient and less harmful to your surroundings.
I'd say he ways about 35 kilograms, but I'm probably wrong, xD
