What stress will shift the following equilibrium system to the left?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alona [7]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u> Increasing temperature

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Principle of Le Chatelier states that <u>if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change of conditions, it will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium. </u>

The variation of one or several of the following factors can alter the equilibrium condition in a chemical reaction:

  • Temperature
  • The pressure
  • The volume
  • The concentration of reactants or products

In the case of the reaction in the question, <u>the change that moves the balance to the left will be the one that moves it towards the reagents</u>, that is, that favors the production of reagents instead of products.

  • Decreasing the concentration of SO3 and increasing the concentration of SO2 <u>will favor the production of SO3</u>, which is the product of the reaction.
  • Decreasing the volume increases the pressure of the system and the balance will move to where there is less number of moles. In the case of the reaction in question, we have 3 moles of molecules in the reactants (1 mole of O2 + 2 moles of SO2) while in the products there are 2 moles of SO3 only, therefore, <u>decreasing the volume will displace the balance to the right</u>, which corresponds to the sense in which there is less number of moles.

The reaction of the question is an exothermic since ΔH <0, therefore in the reaction heat is produced and it can be written in the following way,

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) + heat

  • So, if we increase the temperature we will be adding heat to the system, so the balance would move to the left to compensate for the excess heat in the system.

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Hexanal is a non-polar compound while water is a polar solvent.

We have the role "Like dissolves like".

So, hexanal is insoluble in water.

Which of the answer choices correctly describes Le Châtlier's principle?
almond37 [142]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

A. When a reaction is at chemical equilibrium, a change in the system will cause the system to shift in the direction that will balance the change and help the reaction regain chemical equilibrium.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Le Chatelier's principle states that when a change or a "stress" is placed on a system that is at equilibrium, the system will shift in such a way to relieve that change or stress.
  • The stresses include; changing the concentration of reactants or products, altering the temperature in the system and changing the pressure of the system.
  • Therefore; <u><em>when a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and experiences a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of products or reactants, the equilibrium shifts in the opposite direction to offset the change. </em></u>

How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?​
Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.
