Answer:
b) the reaction proceeds to a new equilibrium in the direction that offsets the change.
Explanation:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a system experiences a constraint such as a change in pressure, temperature or concentration, the system will readjust itself in order to annul the constraint.
This simply means that when temperature, concentration or pressure is changed, a new equilibrium position is reached in order to offset the changes in the system.
Answer:
B only
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR principle, the electron bond pairs and the lone pairs on the middle atom help us predict the structure of the molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the position of the nucleus and its electrons. The electrons and the nucleus settle in positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.
Answer:
NaCl.
Explanation:
In the solution, ZnSe ionizes to 
and 
. Following reaction represents the ionization of ZnSe in solution -
⇄ 
As we want to increase the solubility of ZnSe, we must decrease the concentration of dissociated ions so that the reaction continues to forward direction.
If we add NaCl to this solution, then we have 
and 
in the solution which will be formed by the ionization of NaCl.
Now, in the solution will react with two ions to form 
as follows -
⇄
Due to this reaction the concentration of will decrease in the solution and more ZnSe can be soluble in the solution.
