How does the appearance of a substance change when it<br> changes phase?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Melting: the substance changes back from the solid to the liquid. Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid. Vaporization: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.

In the forward reaction of this equilibrium, which substance acts as the Brønsted-Lowry base? H2S(aq)+CH3NH2(aq)⇋HS−(aq)+CH3NH+3
timama [110]
H2S donates a proton, therefore it is a Brønsted-Lowry base; CH3NH2 accepts a proton, so it’s a Brønsted-Lowry base.

If I initially have a gas at a pressure of 12 atm, a volume of 23 liters, and a temperature of 200 K and then I raise the pressu
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 29.6 l

Explanation:

Data

Pressure 1 = P1 = 12 atm

Volume 1 = V1 = 23 l

Temperature 1 = T1 = 200 °K

Pressure 2 = 14 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = =

Temperature 2 = T2 = 300°K

Process

1.- To solve this problem use the Combine gas law.

             P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

-Solve for V2

             V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2

2.- Substitution

             V2 = (12)(23)(300) / (200)(14)

3.- Simplification

             V2 = 82800 / 2800

4.- Result

            V2 = 29.6 l

What, if any, experimental evidence do you have that the equilibrium is affected by the addition of NaOH? How is this in accorda
vitfil [10]
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is also known as lye which is a base (very high ph; Alkaline)

Now, in chemistry, equilibrium is what affects the reaction rate of a reaction.  If they are in equilibrium, the concentrations of them will not change (both reactants and products).

Now, lets say that to synthesize a certain chemical, we need it to be in an acidic environment with HCL or some other acid as the catalyst for the reaction.

Well, if we were to add Sodium Hydroxide to this which is very alkaline, the ph would change greatly which affects the reaction rate.  If we do not have enough energy to overcome the activation barrier, the reaction will not occur (atleast for a very long time).

However, a common mistake is thinking that a catalyst will affect the equilibrium.  This is not true.  The reaction will still take place but it will have a very slow reaction rate.

TLDR; Adding a catalyst (like NaOH or Sodium Hydroxide) will not change the equilibrium but instead change the reaction rate.  The reaction can still occur, although it can take a very, very long time (like diamonds turning into graphite)
