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.

A resting adult requires about 240 ml of pure oxygen/mind and breathes about 12 times every minute. if inhaled air contains 20 p

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

12 times breathe give 240 ml of pure $O_{2}$ . Each breathe gives 20 ml of $O_{2}$ .

Let us consider, volume of air per breathe= x ml.

Pure $O_{2}$ from inhaled air= $\frac{20}{100}x$ ml and Pure $O_{2}$ from exhaled air= $\frac{16}{100}x$ ml.

Pure $O_{2}$ from inhaled and exhaled air= 20 ml

So, $\frac{20}{100}x$ + $\frac{16}{100}x$ = 20

Therefore, x = 55.5 ml

So, volume of air per breath= 55.5 ml.

What is the mass of a sample of iron if that sample lost 2300J of heat energy when it cooled from 80 oC to 30°C? The specific he

irakobra [83]

102 grams.
Equation:
Quantify of heat = mass x specific heat x difference in temperature
We have: quantity of heat : 2300J
specific heat: .449 J/g
difference in t: 80 - 30 = 50
Solve for mass: 2300 = mass x 0.449 x 50
mass = 102.449
2 sig-figs --> 102 grams
