Answer:

A conversion factor is a variable that transforms the dimension of one variable into the terms of another variable.

Explanation:

Let be x and y two variables with diferent dimensions (units), r is a conversion if transforms the dimension of one variable into the terms of the other variable. That is:

y = r\cdot x (1)

Where:

x - Input, [input unit]

y - Output, [output unit]

r - Conversion factor, [output unit] per [input unit]

Kp for the following reaction is 0.16 at 25 degree C. 2 NOBr(g) 2 NO(g) Br_2(g) The enthalpy change for the reaction at standard
finlep [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

2 NOBr_{(g)} \iff 2 NO_{(g)} + Br_{2(g)}

From above:

K_p = 0.16 = \dfrac{(P_{NO})^2 (P_{Br})}{(P_{NOBr})^2}

To predict the effect of the addition of Br₂(g);

The addition of Br₂(g) will favor the equilibrium to shift to the left i.e. formation of NOBr

The removal of some NOBr will cause the equilibrium position to shift to the left side. This is because concentration on the left side is decreased and the concentration on the right side will be increased. Thus, the equilibrium will shift towards where the concentration is reduced which is the left side.

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?
Kipish [7]
<span>The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. </span><span>When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. </span><span>However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.</span>
