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.

What is the silver ion concentration in a solution prepared by mixing 425 mL 0.397 M silver nitrate with 427 mL 0.459 M sodium p
Lisa [10]

Answer:

0 M is the silver ion concentration in a solution prepared mixing both the solutions.

Explanation:

molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (L)}}

Moles of silver nitrate = n

Volume of the solution = 425 mL = 0.425  L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the silver nitrate solution = 0.397 M

n=0.397 M\times 0.425 L=0.1687 mol

Moles of sodium phosphate = n'

Volume of the sodium phosphate solution = 427 mL = 0.427  L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the sodium phosphate solution = 0.459 M

n'=0.459 M\times 0.427 L=0.1960 mol

3AgNO_3+Na_3PO_4\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4+3NaNO_3

According to reaction, 3 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of sodium phosphate, then 0.1687 moles of silver nitrate will recat with :

\frac{1}{3}\times 0.1687 mol=0.05623 mol of sodium phosphate

This means that only 0.05623 moles of sodium phosphate will react with all the 0.1687 moles of silver nitrate , making silver nitrate limiting reagent and sodium phosphate as an excessive reagent.

So, zero moles of silver nitrate will be left in the solution after mixing of the both solutions and hence zero moles of silver ions will left in the resulting solution.

0 M is the silver ion concentration in a solution prepared mixing both the solutions.
