Answer:

(A) The value of Kc for this reaction increases as temperature increases, because the reaction is endothermic.

Step-by-step explanation:

N₂O₄ ⇌ 2NO₂

colourless reddish-brown

NO₂ is a reddish-brown gas, while N₂O₄ is colourless.

When you cooled the sample to 0 °C, the position of equilibrium shifted to form more N₂O₄, that is, it shifted to the left.

According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a way that tends to relieve the stress.

You applied a stress: you removed heat from the system. It responded by shifting in the direction that produces more heat (to the left).

If you consider heat as part of the reaction, the equation must be

N₂O₄ + heat ⇌ 2NO₂

The reaction is endothermic.

Furthermore, since the position of equilibrium shifted in the direction of reactants, the equilibrium constant decreased.

The value of K decreases as the temperature decreases. If we say it the other way, the value of K increases as the temperature increases.

The correct answer is (A) The value of Kc for this reaction increases as temperature increases, because the reaction is endothermic.

(B) and (D) are wrong, because the reaction is endothermic.

Which two atoms could be the "before'' and ''after'' of an alpha ejection

spin [16.1K]

The answer would be uranium and thorium. When an alpha ejects a particle, it will create a new atom. So, when uranium ejects an alpha particle, it will produce thorium. They call this process as the alpha decay. Alpha decay often happens on atoms that are abundant nuclei such as uranium, radium, and thorium.

Methanol (CH3OH) has a boiling point of -97°C. Methane (CH4) has a boiling point of -162°C. Which type of bonding explains why m

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer is: hydrogen bonding.

Methanol has stronger intermolecular bonds than methane.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

What are the two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle?

Sergeu [11.5K]

The two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle are by counting the number of pails of sand used to build the castle and by determining the mass of the sand used in building the castle. The first method makes use of the volume of the pail to determine the amount of sand while the second method is a more quantitative way.

What two types of matter are closest in density? How do you know? ings.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Density: The molecules of a liquid are packed relatively close together. Consequently, liquids are much denser than gases. The density of a liquid is typically about the same as the density of the solid state of the substance.

In a gas, the distance between molecules, whether monatomic or polyatomic, is very large compared with the size of the molecules; thus gases have a low density and are highly compressible. In contrast, the molecules in liquids are very close together, with essentially no empty space between them
