Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will tend to shift the equilibrium in a direction away from the disturbance.

For example,   CaCO_{3}(s) + CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)

Hence, expression for equilibrium constant will be as follows.

        K_{eq} = \frac{[Ca^{2+}][HCO^{-}_{3}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}][H_{2}O]}

Since, the concentration for a solid substance is considered as 1 or unity. Therefore, adding or removing a solid will not affect the equilibrium.

Thus, we can conclude that according to Le Châtelier’s Principle, the amount of solid reactant or product present does not have an impact on the equilibrium because the solid does not appear in the equilibrium constant, so adding or removing solid has no effect.

1.) Consider the processes or reactions, indicate which side of the reaction will have the greatest entropy AND explain why. (4
ratelena [41]

Answer:

A. Right side since CO2 has has more entropy than solid CO2

B. Right side since gaseous CO2 is present on right side

C. Left side since more no of gaseous molecules om left side

D. Right side since on heating of water at 52C starts boiling hence more entropy for vapour.

Explanation:

Generally entropy is the measurement of randomness and follows the order gas>liquid>solid

Why is the melting of ice a physical change?
yan [13]
<span>A physical change basically involves a change in physical properties. Some examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, volume, mass, weight, etc. 

The water melting has changed the shape and therefore it's physical properties, but the chemical nature of the water has not been altered.
So that's why it's a physical change, and not a chemical change.</span>
