Answer:

decrease H+ concentration by adding NaOH.

Explanation:

H2CO3→ H+ + HCO3-

A decrease in H^+ concentration will lead to a decrease of the H2CO3 concentration since more of it will now dissociate to the bicarbonate ion (equilibrium position shifts towards the right). This is because as equilibrium position shifts towards the right as the hydrogen ions are removed it decreases the concentration of the carbonic acid in the system as shown by the equation above.

Answer:

The correct answer is c add more HCO3- by adding NaHCO3.

Explanation:

The reaction mentioned in the question is carried out by bicarbonate buffer system of our body to maintain the normal acid  base balance.

         Now concentration of the reactant (H2C03) is decreased then NaHCO3 should be added which undergo breakdown to release bicarbonate ions(HCO3-).

        The released bicarbonate ions then reacts with H+ to form Carbonic acid(H2CO3).Thus homeostasis of H2CO3 is maintained.

Estimate ΔH for the reaction: C2H6(g) + Cl2(g)--&gt; C2H5Cl(g) + HCl(g) given the following average bond energies (in kJ/mol): C
Leno4ka [110]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

    C_{2}H_{6}(g) + Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow C_{2}H_{5}Cl(g) + HCl(g)

Using bond energies, expression for calculating the value of \Delta H is as follows.

    \Delta H = \sum B.E_{reactants} - \sum B.E_{products}

On reactant side, from C_{2}H_{6} number of bonds are as follows.

C-C bonds = 1

C-H bonds = 6

From Cl_{2}; Cl-Cl bonds = 1

On product side, from C_{2}H_{5}Cl number of bonds are as follows.

C-C bonds = 1

C-H bonds = 5

C-Cl bonds = 1

From HCl; H-Cl bonds = 1

Hence, using the bond energies we will calculate the enthalpy of reaction as follows.

  \Delta H = \sum B.E_{reactants} - \sum B.E_{products}

  =[(1 \times 348 kJ/mol) + (6 \times 414 kJ/mol) + (1 \times 242 kJ/mol)] - [(1 \times 348 kJ/mol) + (5 \times 414 kJ/mol) + (1 \times 327 kJ/mol) + (1 \times 431 kJ/mol)]            = -102 kJ/mol

Thus, we can conclude that change in enthalpy for the given reaction is -102 kJ/mol.
