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

Romashka [77]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{B.) 2.8 atm}}$

Explanation:

The volume and amount are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac’s Law:

At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

$\dfrac{p_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Data:

p₁ = 1520 Torr; T₁ = 27 °C

p₂ = ?; T₂ = 150 °C

Calculations:

(a) Convert the temperatures to kelvins

T₁ = ( 27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K

T₂ = (150 + 273.15) K = 423.15 K

(b) Calculate the new pressure

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1520}{300.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{423.15}\\\\5.064 & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{423.15}\\\\5.064\times423.15&=&p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \text{2143 Torr}\end{array}\\$

(c) Convert the pressure to atmospheres

$p = \text{2143 Torr} \times \dfrac{\text{1 atm}}{\text{760 Torr}} = \textbf{2.8 atm}\\\\\text{The new pressure reading will be $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.8 atm}}$}$

Answer:

the are coefficients for the atom. the tell how many there are.

Explanation:

they tell you how many atoms there are of its type.

ex. 4 C²H³. there are 4 of the c² and h³ (couldn't find a way to use subscript so used the power signs to show.)

A galvanic cell at a temperature of 25.0°C is powered by the following redox reaction:

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

2.01V ( To three significant digits)

Explanation:

First we show the standard reduction potentials of Cu2+(aq)/Cu(s) system and Al3+(aq)/Al(s) system. We can clearly see from the balanced redox reaction equation that aluminium is the anode and was the oxidized specie while copper is the cathode and was the reduced specie. This observation is necessary when substituting values of concentration into the Nernst equation.

The next thing to do is to obtain the standard cell potential as shown in the image attached and subsequently substitute values of concentration and standard cell potential into the Nernst equation as shown. This gives the cell potential under the given conditions.
