False, in an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature does not favor the formation of products. Instead, it favors the backward reaction. An exothermic reaction is a reaction where energy is transferred from the system out to the environment.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of reactants is more than the energy of the products. In these reactions, energy is released by the system. The total enthalpy of the reaction $(\Delta H)$ comes out to be negative.

In these reaction , products are favored when temperature is kept low. And when we allow these reaction to take place at higher temperature they favor reactant side.

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of products is more than the energy of the reactants. In these reactions, energy is absorbed by the system. The total enthalpy of the reaction $(\Delta H)$ comes out to be positive.

if kept at a constant temperature, what is the concentration at 865s if the initial concentration was 0.0225M

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$[SO_2Cl_2]=0.0175M$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering that the decomposition reaction of SO2Cl2 is first-order, we can write the rate law shown below:

$r=-k[SO_2Cl_2]$

We also consider that the integrated rate law has been already reported as:

$[SO_2Cl_2]=[SO_2Cl_2]_0exp(-kt)$

Thus, by plugging in the initial concentration, rate constant and elapsed time we obtain:

$[SO_2Cl_2]=0.0225Mexp(-2.90x10^{-4}s^{-1}*865s)$

$[SO_2Cl_2]=0.0175M$

Best regards!

What way do S waves move

BlackZzzverrR [31]

S waves shake the ground in a shearing, or crosswise, motion that is perpendicular to the direction of travel. These are the shake waves that move the ground up and down or from side to side.

Suppose that some FeSCN2+ is added to the above solution to shift the equilibrium. When equilibrium is re-established, the follo

kiruha [24]

Explanation:

The given reaction equation will be as follows.

$[FeSCN^{2+}] \rightleftharpoons [Fe^{3+}] + [SCN^{-}]$

Let is assume that at equilibrium the concentrations of given species are as follows.

$[Fe^{3+}] = 8.17 \times 10^{-3}$ M

$[SCN^{-}] = 8.60 \times 10^{-3}$ M

$[FeSCN^{2+}] = 6.25 \times 10^{-2}$ M

Now, first calculate the value of $K_{eq}$ as follows.

$K_{eq} = \frac{[Fe^{3+}][SCN^{-}]}{[FeSCN^{2+}]}$

= $\frac{8.17 \times 10^{-3} \times 8.60 \times 10^{-3}}{6.25 \times 10^{-2}}$

= $11.24 \times 10^{-4}$

Now, according to the concentration values at the re-established equilibrium the value for $[FeSCN^{2+}]$ will be calculated as follows.

$K_{eq} = \frac{[Fe^{3+}][SCN^{-}]}{[FeSCN^{2+}]}$

$11.24 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{8.12 \times 10^{-3} \times 7.84 \times 10^{-3}}{[FeSCN^{2+}]}$

$[FeSCN^{2+}] = 5.66 \times 10^{-2}$ M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of $[FeSCN^{2+}]$ in the new equilibrium mixture is $5.66 \times 10^{-2}$ M.

Study the graph about oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen Content of Earth apostrophe s Atmosphere line graph. X axis i

Anika [276]

Explanation:

from the graph study about oxygen content of Earth's atmosphere, we can understand that

4 billions year ago = None, 3 billions year ago = Cyanobacteria and Archaea , 2 and 1 billions year ago = Bacteria and Green algae , 500 Ma = invertebrate fossils started to existence. Early land plants came in to existence around 398 MA that is Devonian. Dinosaurs are came in to existence during Triassic and Jurassic that is around 251 Ma. Man and animals are recent organism came under Holocene that is 11000 years ago.

The first cells on the earth are anaerobic microorganisms, as the CO2 level is too high they survive by using CO2.

Starting around 2.7 billion years ago, photosynthesis by Cyanobacteria and later plants , pumped “OXYGEN” in to the atmosphere. This caused the decline of anaerobic bacteria and allows the diversification of animals as seen in “CAMBRIAN” around 500 millions year ago.

Early vascular plants “CAPTURED” CO2 starting before the Carboniferous period that began around 350 millions year.Leading to lower temperatures and allowing and allowing the seed plants to outcompetes seedless plants.

Modern human activities has raised both “CO2 and METHANE” level in the atmosphere to over leading to higher temperature and extinction of other species.
