Answer:

When the metal reacts with hot, concentrated sulphuric acid, the products of the reaction are copper (II) sulphate, sulphur dioxide and water. Cu + 2H2SO4 = CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O. This is a typical redox reaction in which the acid is reduced to SO2, but no hydrogen is produced here

Photosynthesis can be represented by6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)⇌C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)Which of the following will be false when the photosynthesi

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The concentration of O2 will begin decreasing and The concentrations of CO2 and O2 will be equal.

Explanation:

Equilibrium occurs when the velocity of the formation of the products it's equal to the velocity of the formation of the reactants, thus the concentrations of the compounds remain constant.

Analyzing the information and the reaction given, we can notice that in equilibrium the rate (velocity) of formation of O2 (product) is equal to the rate of formation of CO2 (reactant).

As the CO2 and H2O are placed in the reaction, the Le Chateliêr's principle states that the equilibrium must shift to reestablish the equilibrium, thus, they must be consumed, and the concentration of O2 must increase.

As state above, in equilibrium, the concentrations didn't change, thus, the concentrations of CO2 and O2 will not change.

The concentrations of CO2 and O2 depends on the rate of the reaction and the initial quantities presented, so it's not possible to affirm they'll be equal.

A solution of starch at room temperature does not readily decompose to form a solution of simple sugars because

Basile [38]

Explanation:

The starch requires a temperature higher than the room temperature (arround 60 °C) to decompose to form simple sugars. This is because the energy required to break the chemical bonds. Also, it may need the action of some specific enzymes (alpha and beta amilase) to break those bonds.

What stress would shift the equilibrium position of the following system to the left?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Heating the system

Explanation:

According to the principle of Le Chatelier, for a system at equilibrium, a specific disturbance would make the equilibrium shift toward the direction which minimizes such a disturbance.

Since we wish to shift the equilibrium to the left, this means we wish to increase the concentration of products, as an excess in their concentration would make the products react and produce more reactants in order to lower the excess concentration of products.

Since heat is also a product, an increase in heat would shift the equilibrium toward the left, as this would consume the excess of heat by producing the reactants.
