Answer:
HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇒ KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
Explanation:
Hydrochloric acid is an acid because it releases H⁺ in an aqueous solution.
Potassium hydroxide is a base because it releases OH⁻ in an aqueous solution.
When an acid reacts with a base they form a salt and water. This is a neutralization reaction. The neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide is:
HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇒ KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
Answer:
Decomposers (either Secondary Consumer or Tertiary Consumer)
Explanation:
Decomposers eat dead materials and break them down into chemical parts. ... They keep the ecosystem free of the bodies of dead animals or carrion. They break down the organic material and recycle it into the ecosystem as nutrients. Vultures, Blowflies, hyenas, crabs, lobsters and eels are examples of scavengers.
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".

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?
A) 1 < 2 < 3
B) 2 < 3 < 1
C) 3 < 1 < 2
D) 1 < 3 < 2
<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>
The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.
Option B
<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>
Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.
A carbonyl compound is a 
hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.
In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.
