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.

What is the mass of 7.675 x 1023 atoms C? Answer in units of g.

nalin [4]

Answer: 15.3 grams C

Explanation: 1 mole is 6.02x10^23 atoms. We can find the moles of C in 7.675 x 10^23 atoms of C by dividing:

(7.675 x 10^23 atoms C)/(6.02x10^23 atoms C/mole) = 1.275 moles C

The molar mass of carbon is 12g/mole. So the mass of 7.675 x 10^23 atoms is (1.275 moles C)*(12 g/mole C) = 15.3 grams.

Why is it commonly believed that carbon dioxide is responsible for global warming? Select 2 options.

monitta

Answer:

Carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere have been steadily increasing.

Carbon has a longer average lifetime in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Today the level of carbon dioxide is higher than at any time in human history. Scientists widely agree that Earth’s average surface temperature has already increased by about 2 F (1 C) since the 1880s, and that human-caused increases in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are extremely likely to be responsible.

The lifetime in the air of CO2, the most significant man-made greenhouse gas, is probably the most difficult to determine, because there are several processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years.

The boiling point of another member of this homologous series was found to be 309 k. What is the likely molecular formula for th

Sati [7]

Answer:

C5H12

Explanation:

In organic chemistry the boiling point of 309 k is of fifth member of alkane series which Pentane whose molecular mass is 72 g/mol. Thus, we can say that the molecular formula of the compound which has boiling point 309 K is C5H12.
