Answer:  d. Increasing the amount of benzoquinone

Explanation:  The given situation can be written in terms of the equation as follows-

Catechol + Oxygen ⇆ Benzoquinone + water (catechol oxidase is the catalyst)

Le chatleir Principle for the system of equilibrium explains that whenever a reaction is being applied to the stress , the reaction will move in that direction in which the effect of stress is being lessened.

For example if there is a decrease in the concentration of the reactants, the equilibrium will shift to that direction in which the reactants concentration is being increased in order to maintain the equilibrium.

Thus the correct option is (D) as increasing the concentration of the benzoquinone, the equilibrium will shift in the direction in which its concentration is getting decreased, that is in backward reaction, thus decreasing the rate of reaction.

An unknown liquid has a mass of 4.25 × 108 mg and a volume of 0.250 m3. what is the density of the liquid in units of g/ml?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Density= mass/volume
             step  one :
  convert  m3  to  ml
1m^3  =1000000ml
0.250m^3 x1000000=250000ml
         
           step  two:  convert  mg   to  g
 1mg=0.001g,  therefore 4.25 x108mg=0.459g
density  is  therefore= 0.459g/250000=1.836 x10^-6g/ml

Which is an example of an exothermic process?
Gwar [14]

1) Answer: A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine.

Explanation: Reactions or process in which heat is released(produced) are known as exothermic reactions or process and those in which the heat is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions or process.

If a beaker feels cools when chemical in it react then it means the chemicals have absorbed the heat energy from its surroundings and so it is an example of an endothermic process.

A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine means the energy is released in the chemical reaction and so it is an example of an exothermic process.

Plants use the sun's energy for photosynthesis which is a process of forming food for the plants. Energy acts as a reactant in this process and so it is an example of endothermic process.

Frying an egg by heating it on a stove is an example of an endothermic process as the heat is required to fry the egg.

So, the only exothermic process is the second one, "A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine."

2) In the given equation, heat is written as a product means the heat is released in the equation and so it is an example of an exothermic reaction.

So, the correct choice is the last one " It is exothermic because energy is released."
