Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

CO + 2H₂ ⇒ CH₃OH + energy

a. An increase in pressure:

A change in pressure affects only equilibrium involving a gas or gases. Le Chatelier's principle can be used to predict the direction of displacement.

An increase in pressure on an equilibrium system will shift the position of equilibrium to the side having smaller volume and vice-versa

CO + 2H₂ ⇒ CH₃OH + energy

3 moles 1 moles

An increase in pressure will favor the forward reaction to be favored.

b. Addition of H₂:

An in concentration of a specie favors the direction that uses up that specie and lowers its concentration.

Addition of hydrogen gas increases the concentration of amount of substances reacting.

To annul the effect of the reactant, more the product is given. The equilibrium shifts in the forward direction.

What type of bond will form between the following pairs of atoms?

Vaselesa [24]

The two main types of bonds formed between atoms are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates one or more of its valence electrons to another atom. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons.

Consider this equilibrium reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, occurring in a sealed flexible container. CO(g) + 3

wariber [46]

Answer:

More H2(g) is added to the container : Towards products.

CO is removed from the container : Towards reactants.

More CH4(g) is added to the container : Towards reactants

H2O(g) is removed from the container : Towards products.

The contents of the container are heated up. : Towards the reactants.

The contents of the container are cooled down : Towards the products.

The pressure inside the container is increased. :Towards the products

The container is stretched to increase the volume: Towards the reactants.

Explanation: :

CO(g) + 3 H2g) → CH4(g) + H2O(g)+ heat

There is released heat, so this reaction is exothermic

If the H2 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase. Towards products.

If the CO is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards reactants.

If the CH4 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase. Towards reactants

If the H2O is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards products.

If the temperature is increased, the system will reduce the amount of heat released. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants.

This because the extra heat / energy must be used.

If the temperature is decreased, the system will produce more heat So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products.

This because more heat /energy needs to be produced to make up for the loss of heat (energy).

If the pressure is increased, the system will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products. An increase of pressure has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the volume.

If the volume is increased, this means the pressure is decreased, the system will shift to the side with most moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants. An increase of volume has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the pressure.

What is the relationship between the internal energy of a substance and its particle movement?

ss7ja [257]

Answer: The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state. Materials are a store of internal energy , due to the motion of particles and the chemical bonds between them. When a substance is heated, its internal energy increases: the movement of its particles increases.
