Two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored

C. Increasing the temperature

D. Reducing the pressure

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂0 + energy

Required

Two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored

Solution

The formation of H₂O is an exothermic reaction (releases heat)

If the system temperature is raised, then the equilibrium reaction will reduce the temperature by shifting the reaction in the direction that requires heat (endotherms). Conversely, if the temperature is lowered, then the equilibrium shifts to a reaction that releases heat (exothermic)

While on the change in pressure, then the addition of pressure, the reaction will shift towards a smaller reaction coefficient

in the above reaction: the number of coefficients on the left is 3 (2 + 1) while the right is 2

As the temperature rises, the equilibrium will shift towards the endothermic reaction, so the reaction shifts to the left towards H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)

And reducing the pressure, then the reaction shifts to the left H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)⇒the number of coefficients is greater

How many atoms are present in 34.69 moles of Mg

shusha [124]

<span>Avogadro's number.

1 mole of any substance, molecule or element is equal to a certain amount of atom.

6.022 x 10^23 is the Avogradro's constant.

Magnesium Oxide is a compound. therefore if you have 30.3 g of it (1 mol), it will have the same number of atoms.

34.69 moles of MgO has 208.9 x 10^23 number of atoms.

2.089 x 10^25 is also a correct answer.</span><span>

A sample of hydrogen gas collected over water occupied 30.0 mL at 24 °C on a day when the atmospheric pressure was 736 Torr. Wha

givi [52]

Answer:0.026ml

Explanation:

Details are found in the image attached. We must subtract the saturated vapour pressure of hydrogen gas at the given temperature from the total pressure of the hydrogen gas collected over water to obtain the actual pressure of hydrogen gas and substitute the value obtained into the general gas equation. The dry hydrogen gas has no saturated vapour pressure hence the value is substituted as given. All temperatures must be converted to Kelvin before substitution.

Which of the following is an example of an exothermic reaction? silt settling out of muddy water, bubbles forming in soda, photo

Rudik [331]

Fireworks
An exothermic reaction is one where the products have lower energy than the reactants, so the reaction yields energy. The chemical compounds present in firework fuel release a lot of energy upon oxidation. Photosynthesis is endothermic, settling of silt is not a chemical reaction, it is a physical change. Finally, the bubble formation in soda is not exothermic; otherwise, the sodas would become very hot very fast.

How did Rutherford’s atomic model fix the shortcomings of Thomson’s atomic model?

dedylja [7]

<u>Plum Pudding Model(Thomson's atomic model)</u>

Thomson's atomic model states that an atom has a positive sphere charge with electrons embedded inside it. He compared the atom with a plum pudding,as the electrons according to him seemed like the dry fruits embedded in the spherical pudding.

<u>Rutherford's Model</u>

However Rutherford bombarded high energy streams of α-particles on a thin gold foil of 100 nm thickness. The deflection produced by the trajectory of these high energy α-particles after interaction with the thin sheet of gold was studied by placing a screen made up of zinc sulfide around the gold foil.
The major observations made by Rutherford were that a very huge fraction of α-particles passed through the gold sheet without getting deflected. Thus he concluded that the major part of an atom must be empty.
Very few α-particles got deflected minutely or at very small angles by the gold sheet when they were bombarded against it. Also very few particles got deflected at large angles. This made him conclude that the positive charge is concentrated in a very small region and is not distributed uniformly.

From the above observations he gave the following postulates:

An atom is made up of positively charged particles. The mass of an atom was concentrated in small region which is named as the nucleus of an atom.
The nucleus is surrounded by electrons which are negatively charged particles which revolve around the nucleus in a fixed circular path called as “orbits.”
An atom is electrically neutral because electrons are negatively charged and the nucleus is positively charged. The electrons are held by the nucleus due to a strong electrostatic force.
Compared to the total size of an atom the size of the nucleus is very small.
