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.

Calculate the molarity of 13.1 g of NaCl in 727 mL of solution

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution is 0,31 M

Explanation:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of NaCl from the atomic weights of each element of the periodic table. Then, we calculate the molarity, which is a concentration measure that indicates the moles of solute (in this case NaCl) in 1000ml of solution (1 liter)

Weight 1 mol NaCl= Weight Na + Weight Cl= 23 g + 35, 5 g= 58, 5 g

58, 5 g-----1 mol NaCl

13,1 g ---------x= (13,1 g x 1 mol NaCl)/58, 5 g= 0, 224 mol NaCl

727 ml solution------ 0, 224 mol NaCl

1000ml solution------x= (1000ml solutionx0, 224 mol NaCl)/727 ml solution

x=0,308 mol NaCl---> The solution is 0,31 molar (0,31 M)

What are two things plants have which animal cells do not

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Animal cells don't have a dividing cell wall like plant cells do

Explanation:

Plants cells use photosynthesis from the sun, which requires them to have chloroplast filled with chlorophyll to complete this function; animal cells do not have chloroplasts

Through what process do all stars produce their energy?

Deffense [45]

nuclear fusion

Stars produce their energy through nuclear fusion. For most stars, this process is dominated by a process called the "proton-proton chain," a sequence of events that transforms four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom.
