6 0

Answer:

Potential energy can be defined as the energy in a body due to its position

In simple terms potential energy is the energy at rest

Explanation: Examples ;

  • A spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched.
  • A steel ball has more potential energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth.

Mass of 0.432 moles of C8H9O4?
Fiesta28 [93]
Find one mole
8 C = 8 * 12 = 96
9 H = 1 * 9 = 9
4 O = 4 *16 = 64
Total = 169 

1 mol = 169 grams.
0.432 mol = x

1/0.432 = 169/x
x = 0.432 * 169
x = 73.0 grams

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)
