Answer:
a) the reverse reaction is favoured
b) the forward reaction is favoured
c) the forward reaction is favoured
Explanation:
The equation ought to have been correctly written as;
3A + 2B --------> C + 2D. ∆H =20 kJ
Actually, we can see that the reaction is endothermic since ∆H= positive.
We know that when pressure is decreased, the reaction tends towards the side with higher total volumes. There are five volumes(moles) of reactants and three volumes(moles) of products. A decrease in pressure will favour the reverse reaction.
Being an endothermic reaction, increase in temperature is known to favour the forward reaction. Similarly, removing D will drive the equilibrium forward thereby favouring the forward reaction.
Answer:
6e⁻
Explanation:
Charge in reducing 2 mole of Cr⁶⁺ to Cr³⁺
Cr⁶⁺ + xe⁻ → Cr³⁺
The numbers 6+ and 3+ on the chromium atoms are the oxidation number of the atom.
It shows the number of electrons that has been lost by chromium in an oxidation state.
Cr⁶⁺ shows that it has lost 6 electrons. When an atom loses electrons, the number of protons becomes more. This makes it positively charged in nature.
This analogy goes for Cr³⁺
Therefore, in going from reactants to products, chromium
6+ → 3+
In this kind of expression, the number of atoms must be conserved and the charges too;
2Cr⁶⁺ + xe⁻ → 2Cr³⁺
given 2 moles of Cr;
To balance the charge;
2(6+) + x(-) = 2(3+)
12 - x = 6
x = 6
A charge of 6e⁻ is required to reduce 2 mole of Cr⁶⁺ to Cr³⁺
Antoine Lavoisier was part of a wealthy family in Paris. He pursued to study science upon realizing that chemistry or the study of the elements was not a well-studied field. His discovery of that air was a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gave rise to the concept of COMBUSTION after repeating the experiments made by Priestly using mercury and other metal oxides.
The event was such a history-making because it disproved that concept that air was a pure substance along with 3 others: earth, fire, and water.
