1) 100s of millions of years ago Trees and plants fall into swamps
2) Layers of rotting plant matter builds up underwater
3) Over millions of years the weight of layers heat the plant matter and turn into Peat
4) Over millions of years more pressure and heat turns Peat into coal
Question requires a change resulting in an increase in both forward and reverse reactions. Now lets discuss options one by one and see there impact on rate of reactions.
1) <span>A decrease in the concentration of the reactants:
When concentration of reactant is decreased it will shift the equilibrium in Backward direction, so resulting in increasing the backward reaction and decreasing the forward direction. Hence, this option is incorrect.
2) </span><span>A decrease in the surface area of the products:
Greater the surface Area greater is the chances of collision and greater will be the rate of reaction. As the surface area of products is decreased it will not favor the backward reaction. Hence again this statement is incorrect according to given statement.
3) </span><span>An increase in the temperature of the system:
An increase in temperature will shift the reaction in endothermic side. Hence, if the reaction is endothermic, an increase in temperature will increase the rate of forward direction or if the reaction is exothermic it will increase the rate of reverse direction. Hence, this option is correct according to given statement.
4) </span><span>An increase in the activation energy of the forward reaction:
An increase in Activation energy will decrease the rate of reaction, either it is forward or reverse. So this is incorrect.
Result:
Hence, the correct answer is,"</span>An increase in the temperature of the system".
Answer:
6. O₂ + Cu —> CuO
7. H₂ + Fe₂O₃ —> H₂O + Fe
8. O₂ + H₂ — > H₂O
9. H₂S + NaOH —> Na₂S + H₂O
10. Al + HCl —> H₂ + AlCl₃
Explanation:
6. Oxygen gas react with solid copper metal to form copper(II) oxide
Oxygen gas => O₂
Copper => Cu
copper(II) oxide => CuO
The equation is:
O₂ + Cu —> CuO
7. hydrogen gas and iron(III) oxide powder react to form liquid water and solid iron power
hydrogen gas => H₂
Iron(III) oxide => Fe₂O₃
Water => H₂O
Iron => Fe
The equation is:
H₂ + Fe₂O₃ —> H₂O + Fe
8. Oxygen gas react with hydrogen gas to form liquid water
Oxygen gas => O₂
hydrogen gas => H₂
Water => H₂O
The equation is:
O₂ + H₂ — > H₂O
9. Hydrogen sulphide gas is bubbled through a sodium hydroxide solution to produce sodium sulphide and liquid water
hydrogen sulphide => H₂S
sodium hydroxide => NaOH
Sodium sulphide => Na₂S
Water => H₂O
The equation is:
H₂S + NaOH —> Na₂S + H₂O
10. Hydrogen gas and aluminum chloride solutions are produced when solid aluminum react with hydrochloric acid
Aluminum => Al
Hydrochloric acid => HCl
hydrogen gas => H₂
Aluminum chloride => AlCl₃
The equation is:
Al + HCl —> H₂ + AlCl₃
Metals are to the left of the zig-zag, nonmetals are to the right, and metalloids lie on/beside the line.
