Answer:

The correct option is: A) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

Explanation:

According to the Le Chatelier's principle, change in the volume of the reaction system causes equilibrium to shift in the direction that reduces the effect of the volume change.

When the volume decreases then the pressure of the reaction vessel increases, then the equilibrium shifts towards the reaction side that produces less number of moles of gas.

A) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 3 and number of moles of product is 2.

Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the product side, thereby favoring the formation of products.

B) NO₂(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant and product both is 2.

Therefore, when the volume decreases, the equilibrium does not shift in any direction.

C) H₂(g) + I₂(g) → 2HI(g)

The number of moles of reactant and product both is 2.

Therefore, when the volume decreases, the equilibrium does not shift in any direction.

D) 2O₃(g) → 3O₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 2 and number of moles of product is 3.

Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the reactant side, thereby favoring the formation of reactants.

E) MgCO₃(s) → MgO(s) + CO₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 1 and number of moles of product is 2.

Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the reactant side, thereby favoring the formation of reactants.

Carbondioxide gas is't collectable in water. why?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

carbon dioxide is a gas so it isn't collected over water.

Explanation:

it works for insoluble gases such as hydrogen,or gases that do not dissolve easily in water such as ammonia and chlorine are readily soluble in water and are not collected this way.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? (A) An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.(B) Once dissolved in wat

Ainat [17]

Answer:

A) An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.

Explanation:

D) Ionic compounds have high melting points causing them to be solid at room temperature, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds have low melting points and many are liquids or gases at room temperature.

C) An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.

A) Covalent bonds are stronger if you compare with ionic molecules, because their molecular orbital overlap is bigger. However, ionic molecules form lattices, thus the energy to break this lattice bond is stronger hence the ionic bond is stronger.

Be sure to answer all parts. this is a two-part question. first, draw the minor alkene product that should be formed in the reac

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, however, I found a question very similar to this, and I'm assuming this is the question you are asking to answer. If it's not, please tell me which one it is. Here's a tip for you to get an idea of how to solve.

Picture 1, would be the original question. Picture 2 is the answer of it.

Now, This is a E1 reaction where this type of reactions are taking place in two steps. The first step is the formation of the carbon cation, this step is always slow. The secon step is the addition of a nucleophyle, or, in this case, formation of a pi bond, and we get a alkene.

Hope this can help you
