Atoms are the smallest particales of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. During a chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed. The atoms are simply rearranged from the reactants to the products, mass is NEVER lost or gained in chemical reactions...Mass is ALWAYS conserved. :) Hope this helped

What direction would equilibrium moves towards based on the following if we increased the volume of the container.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

To answer this question, we will first find out the number of gaseous moles on each side of the equilibrium

on the left:

we have 2 moles of A, 5 moles of B and 12 moles of C

which gives us a grand total of 19 gaseous moles

on the right:

here, we have 14 moles of AC gas, we will not count the number of moles of B because it's a solid

giving us 14 gaseous moles on the right

Where does the reaction shift?

more gaseous moles means more space taken, because gas likes to fill all the space it can

if we have more volume, more gas can move around without colliding (reacting) with each other

Hence more volume favors the side with more gaseous moles

here, the left has more gaseous moles. So we can say that the reaction will shift towards the left, or the reactants side

Why does sand heat faster than water

snow_lady [41]

The sand should both heat and cool faster than the water. This is because water has a higher specific heat ca- pacity than sand – meaning that it takes a lot of heat, or energy, to raise the temperature of water one degree, whereas it takes comparatively little energy to change the temperature of sand by one degree.
