Answer:
- a) 2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)
Explanation:
Arrange the equations in the proper way for better understanding.
T<em>he reaction between nitrogen and oxygen is given below:</em>
<em />
- <em>2N₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2N₂O(g)</em>
<em />
<em>We therefore know that which of the following reactions can also occur?</em>
<em />
- <em>a) 2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)</em>
- <em>b) N₂(g) + 2O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)</em>
- <em>c) 2NO₂(g) → N₂(g) + 2O₂(g)</em>
- <em>d) None of the Above</em>
<h2>Solution</h2>
Notice that the first equation, a) 2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g), is the reverse of the original equation, 2N₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2N₂O(g).
The reactions in gaseous phase are reversible reactions that can be driven to one or other direction by modifying the conditions of temperature or pressure.
Thus, the equilibrium equation would be:
Which shows that both the forward and the reverse reactions occur.
Whether one or the other are favored would depend on the temperature and pressure: high temperatures would favor the reaction that consumes more heat (the endothermic reaction) and high pressures would favor the reaction that consumes more moles.
Thus, by knowing that one of the reactions can occur you can conclude that the reverse reaction can also occur.
Answer:
D. Crystallization
Explanation:
Let's clarify the irrelevant terms first.
- unification: This term has nothing to do with chemistry at all
- lithification: When the problem mentions magma and lava, you might think that this term is related to the process here. However, 'lithification' <em>do </em>have a precise meaning in geology. It refers to the process where sediments collapses into one single rock under pressure, which has nothing to do with the process mentioned here.
Now, for 2 terms that might confuse you: 'solidification' and 'crystallization' these also has precise scientific definition
Solidification is defined the process where substances in <em>liquid</em> phase changes its phase to <em>solid</em>. On first glance, this answer might seems correct, and yes, it is correct for this question. But not the <em>most</em> correct.
The keyword here is
'the internal components will arrange its self in an organized pattern.'
Crystallization is a special case of Solidification where the atoms or molecules of liquid solidify by spontaneously arrange themselves in periodic, ordered, and organized pattern. It might or might not happen during solidification depending on cooling rate, viscosity of liquid, and other factors.
So, Crystallization is the most correct answer here.
