This is an aplication of Le Chatelier Principle. So, if you need further details about the theory behind the answer, search for this subject.

Here is the answer and the explanation.

You can realize that 1 mol of reactant produce 2 moles of products, which means that the trend of the reaction is to increase the volume (at constant pressure) or to increase the pressure (at constant volume). If you realease the pressure by increasing the volume, Le Chaelier principle permit you to predict a displacement of the equilibrium to the right (to the products). This is, because the equilibrium will try to restore (increase) the pressure by producing more molecules.

So, the answer is the option B. There will be a shift toward the products.

The freezing point of diet soda is higher than the freezing point of regular soda, but lower than 0 degrees celcius, the freezin

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both Diet Soda and regular soda contain sweeteners.

When a solute is dissolved in solution, the solution undergoes *freezing point depression* it freezing point reduces. The magnitude of freezing point depression is directly proportional to the amount of solute in a solution.

Since soda Both regular or diet soda contains more solute than water , their freezing point is will consequently be lower than water

Elis [28]

Answer:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

Explanation:

According to the question, a battery was used to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire. This caused the iron to heat up quite well.

Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.
