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.

Arsenate (AsO43-) is structurally and chemically similar to inorganic phosphate (PO43-), and many enzymes that act on phosphate

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

A) The effect on the net reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehyde is that

The 1-arsen0, 3-phosphoglycerate will decompose without enzymes hence no ATP will be formed in the reaction ( phosphoglycerate Kinase )

B) There will be no conversion of ADP to ATP from the conversion of glucose to pyruvate hence No balanced overall equation can be derived

C ) Arsenate is very toxic to most organisms and it is used mostly regarded as poisons during the formation of glycolysis, it forms 1-arsen0, 3-phosphoglycerate which hinders the formation of ATP because it is unstable and will hydrolyze quickly, this will also lead to the reduction in oxygen in cells thereby leading to the death of cells

Questions: 1. Why are atomic masses on the periodic table decimal numbers?

fomenos

Answer:

The atomic mass on the periodic table is a decimal number because it is an average of the different isotopes of an element.

P.S.

An isotope is each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.
