Answer:

A. The equilibrium will shift towards the right, towards the formation of products

B. The concentration of hydrogen gas will decrease as more of it is used in the formation of products

C. Increasing the temperature at which the reaction is performed will increase the concentration of C2H4, the product of the reaction.

Explanation:

The given reaction is an exothermic reaction as it requires the addition of extra energy of about 52.4KJ in the form of heat for the reaction to proceed towards product formation.

According to L' Chtler principle, when an external constraint is applied to A given system in equilibrium, equilibrium position will shift so as to annul the effect ofnthe constraint imposed on the system.

Therefore, the answers tonthe questions above are given below as follows :

A. The equilibrium will shift towards the right, towards the formation of products in order to remove the effect of the additional heat since the forward reaction is endothermic.

B. The concentration of hydrogen gas will decrease as more of it is used in the formation of products .

C. Increasing the temperature at which the reaction is performed will increase the concentration of C2H4, the product of the reaction as the equilibrium will shift towards the right; formation of products.

Answer:

Can either be a solid, a liquid or a gas

Explanation:

A solvent can either be a solid, liquid or a gas. It is the carrier medium in a solution. It is the one in which the solute is dissolved.

Although quite unusual, a solvent might also be a solid. An important application of this can be seen in the production of alloys. Alloys are mixture of metals. To produce let’s say an alloy containing just two metals, the use of a solid solvent is needed. Here, one of the two metals is known as the base metal. It is this base metal that will serve as the carrier medium for the other metal

What part of an atom bonds with other atoms

mote1985 [20]

Atoms that share electrons in a chemical bond have covalent bonds. An oxygen molecule (O2) is a good example of a molecule with a covalent bond. Ionic bonds occur when electrons are donated from one atom to another.

A lead–tin alloy of composition 30 wt% Sn–70 wt% Pb is slowly heated from a temperature of 150°C (300°F).(a) At what temperature

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

a) 231.9 °C

b) 100% Sn

c) 327.5 °C

d) 100% Pb

Explanation:

This is a mixture of two solids with different fusion point:

$Tf_{Pb}=327.5 C$

$Tf_{Sn}=231.9 C$

<u>Given that Sn has a lower fusion temperature it will start to melt first at that temperature. </u>

So the first liquid phase forms at 231.9 °C and because Pb starts melting at a higher temperature, that phase's composition will be 100% Sn.

The mixture will be completely melted when you are a the higher melting temperature of all components (in this case Pb), so it will all in liquid phase at 327.5 °C.

At that temperature all Sn was already in liquid state and, therefore, the last solid's composition will be 100% Pb.

H2 + O2 -> 2H2O <br> balanced or unbalanced pls help

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Unbalanced

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

The given reaction flouts the law of conservation of mass and it is not balanced. To know a reaction that is balanced, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression must be the same;

Number of moles

Reactants Products

Hydrogen 2 4

Oxygen 2 2

We see that the hydrogen atoms are not balanced.
