What stress would shift the equilibrium position of the following system to the left?

Chemistry

1 answer:

Margarita [4]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Heating the system

Explanation:

According to the principle of Le Chatelier, for a system at equilibrium, a specific disturbance would make the equilibrium shift toward the direction which minimizes such a disturbance.

Since we wish to shift the equilibrium to the left, this means we wish to increase the concentration of products, as an excess in their concentration would make the products react and produce more reactants in order to lower the excess concentration of products.

Since heat is also a product, an increase in heat would shift the equilibrium toward the left, as this would consume the excess of heat by producing the reactants.

alexira [117]

Answer:

a) After helping our partner, we should immediately report the incident to the lab manager or any person in charge of the emergencies occurring in the lab.

b) We should have a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet to give to the responders. This is because the responder can identify what materials were being used by the person ans what other security measures need to be taken.

Is ammonium ion a bronsted base

Leokris [45]

Unlikely. It's unlikely for ammonium ion ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ to accept a proton $\text{H}^{+}$ and act as a Bronsted-Lowry Acid.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the definition of Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases?

Bronsted-Lowry Acid: a species that can donate one or more protons $\text{H}^{+}$ in a reaction.

Bronsted-Lowry Base: a species that can accept one or more protons $\text{H}^{+}$

Ammonium ions ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ are positive. Protons $\text{H}^{+}$ are also positive.

Positive charges repel each other, which means that it will be difficult for ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ to accept any additional protons. As a result, it's unlikely that ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ will accept <em>any</em> proton and act like a Bronsted-Lowry Base.

The valences of metal x,y and z are 1,2 and 3 respectively. What are the formulae of their;a) hydroxides, b) sulphates, c) hydro

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

AS we know that the valence for those metals X, Y, and Z are 1, 2 and 3, we can determine the formula of each compound.

1. Hydroxides.

An hydroxide is formed when an oxyde of a metal reacts with water. When this happens, the general molecular formula is:

Meₐ(OH)ₙ

Where:

a: valence or charge of the hydroxide (Which is -1)

n: valence of the metal.

Following this, the formula for X, Y and Z would be:

XOH

Y(OH)₂

Z(OH)₃

2. Sulphates

Sulphates follow a similar rule of hydroxide in the general molecular formula, but instead of having a charge of -1, it has a charge of -2 so:

Mₐ(SO₄)ₙ

So, following the rule:

X₂SO₄

Y₂(SO₄)₂ ------> YSO₄

Z₂(SO₄)₃

3. Hydrogens

Following the same rule as the previous, hydrogens works with a charge of -1, so:

MₐHₙ

Then:

YH₂

ZH₃

4. Carbonates.

This follows the same rule as sulphates, with the same charge so:

Mₐ(CO₃)ₙ

Then:

X₂CO₃

YCO₃

Z₂(CO₃)₃

5. Nitrates

Follow the same rule as the hydroxides, with the same charge of -1.

Mₐ(NO₃)ₙ

Then:

XNO₃

Y(NO₃)₂

Z(NO₃)₂

6. Phosphates

In the case of phosphates, these have a charge of -3 so:

Mₐ(PO₄)ₙ

Then:

X₃PO₄

Y₃(PO₄)₂

Z₃(PO₄)₃ ----> ZPO₄

Hope this helps
