The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one state or substance to another. This means that this law applies to both physical and chemical changes. In physical changes, the substance before and after the phase change still has the same mass. In chemical changes, the mass of reactants will always have the same mass of products and by-products.

D. Raising the pressure

Given
Reaction
2SO₂+O₂⇔2SO₃+energy
Required
Changes to the formation of products
Solution
The formation of SO₃ is an exothermic reaction (releases heat)
If the system temperature is raised, then the equilibrium reaction will reduce the temperature by shifting the reaction in the direction that requires heat (endotherms). Conversely, if the temperature is lowered, then the equilibrium shifts to a reaction that releases heat (exothermic)
While on the change in pressure, then the addition of pressure, the reaction will shift towards a smaller reaction coefficient
in the above reaction: the number of coefficients on the left is 3 (2 + 1) while the right is 2
As the temperature decreases, the equilibrium will shift towards the exothermic reaction, so the reaction shifts to the right towards SO₃( products-favored)
And increasing the pressure, then the reaction shifts to the right SO₃( products-favored)⇒the number of coefficients is greater

First, lookup the atomic weight of all involved elements
Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107
Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794
Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999
Then calculate the molar masses of CO2 and H2O
Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol
Molar mass H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 g/mol
Now calculate the number of moles of each product obtained
Note: Not interested in the absolute number of moles, just the relative ratios. So not going to get pedantic about the masses involved being mg and converting them to grams. As long as I'm using the same magnitude units in the same places for the calculations, I'm OK.
moles CO2 = 3.52 / 44.0087 = 0.079984
moles H2O = 0.822 / 18.01488 = 0.045629
Since each CO2 molecule has 1 carbon atom, I can use the same number for the relative moles of carbon. However, since each H2O molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms, I need to double that number to get the relative number of moles for hydrogen.
moles C = 0.079984
moles H = 0.045629 * 2 = 0.091258
So we have a ratio of 0.079984 : 0.091258 for carbon and hydrogen. We need to convert that to a ratio of small integers. First divide both numbers by 0.079984 (selected since it's the smallest), getting
1: 1.140953
The 1 for carbon looks good. But the 1.140953 for hydrogen isn't close to an integer. So let's multiply the ratio by 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., etc and see what each new ratio looks like (Effectively seeing what 1, 2, 3, 4, etc carbons look like)
1 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 1 : 1.140953
2 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 2 : 2.281906
3 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 3 : 3.422859
4 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 4 : 4.563812
5 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 5 : 5.704765
6 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 6 : 6.845718
7 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 7 : 7.986671
8 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 8 : 9.127624
That 7.986671 in row 7 looks extremely close to 8. I doubt I'd get much closer unless I go to extremely high integers. So it looks like the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8</span>
Answer:
I. Increasing pressure will allow more frequent successful collision between particles due to the particles being closer together.
II. Rate of reaction increases due to more products being made; as increased pressure favours the exothermic side of the equilibrium.
III. Increasing temperature provides particles lots of (Kinetic) energy, for more frequent successful collision due to the particles moving at a faster rate than before. However, favouring the endothermic side of the equilibrium due to lots of energy required to break and form new bonds.
IV. Rate of reaction increases due to increase temperature favouring both directions of the equilibrium - causing products to form faster.
Hope this helps!
