In order to accomplish work on an object there must be a force exerted on the object and it must move in the direction of the force. ... For the special case of a constant force, the work may be calculated by multiplying the distance times the component of force which acts in the direction of motion.
Answer:
- Initial: forward rate > reverse rate
- Equilibrium: forward rate = reverse rate
Explanation:
2NO₂(g) → N₂O₄(g) Kc=4.7
The definition of <em>equilibrium</em> is when the forward rate and the reverse rate are <em>equal</em>.
Because in the initial state there's only NO₂, there's no possibility for the reverse reaction (from N₂O₄ to NO₂). Thus the forward rate will be larger than the reverse rate.
The critical thinking step that the student just completed in the situation above is that OF ASKING QUESTION.
Critical thinking refers to the objective analysis of an issue that is undertaken in order to reach a conclusion on a matter. Critical thinking involves asking questions and asking questions make one to discover new things or new phenomenon.
