Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

C(s) + H_2O (g)\leftrightharpoons CO(g) + H_2(g)

Given that reaction is an endothermic reaction.

For the given options:

a)Adding more C

If the concentration of C that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of C takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction to wards the formation of hydrogen gas.

b) Adding more H_2O

If the concentration of water that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of water  takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction towards the formation of hydrogen gas.

c) Raising the temperature  of the reaction mixture

If the temperature is increased,heat of the equilibrium mixture will also increase so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in heat that is decrease in temperature occurs.

As, this is an endothermic reaction, forward reaction will decrease the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.  

d) Increasing the volume  of reaction mixture

If the volume of the container is increased, the pressure will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is greater at the product side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.  

e) Adding a catalyst  to reaction mixture

Role of catalyst is to attain the equilibrium quickly without disturbing the state of equilibrium. Hence, addition of catalyst will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.  

f) Adding an inert gas to reaction mixture

Adding inert gas to the mixture at constant volume will not effect the equilibrium. Hence, addition of an inert gas will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.

the rate of disappearance of Br- at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 x 10-4 M/s. What is the rate of appearance of B
ddd [48]

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol M/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced reaction

2 Br⁻ ⇒ Br₂

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

The molar ratio of Br⁻ to Br₂ is 2:1.

Step 3: Calculate the rate of appearance of Br₂

The rate of disappearance of Br⁻ at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ M/s. The rate of appearance of Br₂ is:

3.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br⁻/L.s × (1 mol Br₂/2 mol Br⁻) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br₂/L.s

How many molecules are in 2.00 moles of h2o
Sedaia [141]
1 mole = 6.022×10^23 atoms. 1 water molecule = 2 Hydrogen atoms + 1 oxygen atom. So, 1 mole H2O = 1.2044×10^24 hydrogen atoms. Therefore 2 mole H2O will have 2.4088×10^24 hydrogen atoms.

The ratio of sizes between the ionic radii of anions and cations in a cell has no influence on the manner of packing for that ce
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is B. False

Explanation:

The ratio of sizes between the ionic radii of cations and anions in a cell influences the manner of packing for that cell thereby predicting the possible cation/anion coordination number in any compound and establishing the structure of ionic solids.
