Consider the chemical equation in equilibrium.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The forward reaction will be favored.

Explanation:

The reaction is:

$2H_{2}(g)+2O_{2}(g)--->2H_{2}O(g)$

As per equation (equilibrium equation), there are two moles of gaseous molecules on product side and three moles of reactant side.

a) If we increase pressure, the volume will decrease.

b) Due to decrease in volume, the moles per unit volume will increase.

c) In order to attain equilibrium again, the system will shift in the direction where it can nullify this effect [Le Chatelier's principle]

d) This can be done, if system moves in the direction where number of moles of gaseous molecules are less, which is product side.

e) Thus forward reaction will be favored.

HELP ME please i need help with this

a) Natural selection will work negatively against rabbits that only eat berries as the drought is preventing berries from growing. It wont have any negative impact on rabbits that only eat grass as the grass is still surviving.

b) The statement ‘population has variations’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits eat different things. They aren’t all the same. The statement ‘some variations are favorable’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits that only eat grass are able to survive the drought. Their variation in eating grass instead of berries let’s them live. The statement ‘a population will change over time’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits that only eat berries will die out. This will not only change the size of the population but going forward will create a population that has more rabbits that eat only grass on account of natural selection.

The radiator in a car is filled with a solution of 60% antifreeze and 40% water. The manufacturer of the antifreeze suggests tha

lakkis [162]

Answer:

0.6 Liters of coolant should be drained and 0.6 Liter of water should be added.

Explanation:

Volume of the radiator = 3.6 L

Percentage of antifreeze = 60%

Total volume of anti freeze in radiator = 60% of 3.6 L :

$\frac{60}{100}\times 3.6 = 2.16 L$

Percentage of water= 40%

Given,optimal cooling of the engine is obtained with only 50% antifreeze.

So, now we want to reduce the percentage of antifreeze from 60% to 50 %

Volume of coolant removed = x

Volume of water added = x

Volume of anti freeze removed = 60% of(x) = 0.6x

Volume of antifreeze left in radiator =50% of 3.6 L = $\frac{50}{100}\times 3.6=1.8 L$

1.8 Liter is the desired volume of the antifreeze.

Total volume - Removed volume = desired volume

2.16 L - 60% of( x) = 1.8 L

$2.16 L-0.6x=1.8 L$

$x=\frac{2.16 l- 1.8 L}{0.6}=0.6 L$

0.6 Liters of coolant should be drained and 0.6 Liter of water should be added.
