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.

A softball is thrown with 145 Joules of kinetic energy. If the ball is moving at 20.0 m/s, what is the mass of the ball in kg?

Tasya [4]

Answer:

0.725 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Kinetic energy of the softball (K): 145 J

Speed of the softball (v): 20.0 m/s

Mass of the softball (m): ?

Step 2: Calculate the mass of the softball

We will use the following expression.

K = 1/2 × m × v²

m = 2 K / v²

m = 2 × 145 J / (20.0 m/s)²

m = 0.725 kg

The mass of the softball is 0.725 kg.

The rate constant of a reaction is measured at different temperatures. A plot of the natural log of the rate constant as a funct

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The activation energy is 7.11 × 10⁴ J/mol.

Explanation:

Let's consider the Arrhenius equation.

$lnk=lnA-\frac{Ea}{R} .\frac{1}{T}$

where,

k is the rate constant

A is a collision factor

Ea is the activation energy

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

The plot of ln k vs 1/T is a straight line with lnA as intercept and -Ea/R as slope. Then,

$\frac{-Ea}{R} =-8.55 \times 10^{3} K^{-1} \\Ea= 8.55 \times 10^{3} K^{-1} \times 8.314 \frac{J}{K.mol} =7.11 \times 10^{4} J/mol$

The iodide ion reacts with hypochlorite ion (the active ingredient in chlorine bleaches) in the following way:

LiRa [457]

Explanation:

(a) As the given chemical reaction equation is as follows.

$OCl^{-} + I^{-} \rightarrow OI^{-1} + Cl^{-1}$

So, when we double the amount of hypochlorite or iodine then the rate of the reaction will also get double. And, this reaction is "first order" with respect to hypochlorite and iodine.

Hence, equation for rate law of reaction will be as follows.

Rate = $K \times [OCl^{-}] \times [l^{-}]$

(b) Since, the rate equation is as follows.

Rate = $K [OCl^{-}][l^{-}]$

Let us assume that ( $[OCl^{-}] = [l^{-}]$ )

Putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

$1.36 \times 10^{-4} = K \times (1.5 \times 10^{-3})^2$

$1.36 \times 10^{-4} = K \times (2.25 \times 10^{-6})$

K = $\frac{1.36 \times 10^{-4}}{2.25 \times 10^{-6}}$

= $60.4 M^{-1}sec^{-1}$

Hence, the value of rate constant for the given reaction is $60.4 M^{-1}sec^{-1}$ .

(c) Now, we will calculate the rate as follows.

Rate = $K [OCl^{-}][l^{-}]$

= $60.4 \times (1.8 \times 10^{3}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{4})$

= $6.52 \times 10^{5}$

Therefore, rate when $[OCl^{-}] = 1.8 \times 10^{3}$ M and $[I^{-}]= 6.0 \times 10^{4}$ M is $6.52 \times 10^{5}$ .

Which of the following statements best describes why a chemical change is different from a physical change.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

C) Chemical changes involve formation of a new substance while physical change only impacts appearance or form.

Explanation:

The obvious difference between a chemical change and physical change is that in a chemical change new substances are produced while in a physical change, the form of the compounds are altered.

Most phase changes are products of physical changes. Such changes are easily reversible.
In a chemical change, a new kind of matter is formed. It is accompanied by energy changes.
The process is not easily reversible.
