Consider the chemical equation in equilibrium.
Andrew [12]
When pressure in a chemical reaction increases, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with fewer moles of gas. When there is a decrease in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with more moles of gas.Therefore; in this case; increased the Equilibrium will shift to the left and favor the reverse reaction. This is because the side of products has more moles compared to the side of reactants, thus increased in pressure will aid conversion of products to reactants.

QUESTION 1
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The answers are:

1) Latent heat of fusion

2) Heat is released

3) The process is endothermic

Explanation:

(1) The amount of energy required to freeze one kg of a substance is called latent heat of fusion.

(2) In a process, if heat is absorbed, the change in enthalpy for the substance is positive.

In a process, if heat is released, the change in enthalpy for the substance is negative.

The enthalpy of freezing for water is -6.02 kJ/mol. Heat is released as the enthalpy is negative.

(3) A positive value for enthalpy of vaporization indicates that the process is endothermic.

An exothermic process is one in which energy is released. The enthalpy for the process is negative.

An endothermic process is one which energy is absorbed. The enthalpy for the process is positive.
