<u>Answer:</u> Increasing temperature
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Principle of Le Chatelier states that <u>if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change of conditions, it will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium.
</u>
The variation of one or several of the following factors can alter the equilibrium condition in a chemical reaction:
- Temperature
- The pressure
- The volume
- The concentration of reactants or products
In the case of the reaction in the question, <u>the change that moves the balance to the left will be the one that moves it towards the reagents</u>, that is, that favors the production of reagents instead of products.
-
Decreasing the concentration of SO3 and increasing the concentration of SO2 <u>will favor the production of SO3</u>, which is the product of the reaction.
- Decreasing the volume increases the pressure of the system and the balance will move to where there is less number of moles. In the case of the reaction in question, we have 3 moles of molecules in the reactants (1 mole of O2 + 2 moles of SO2) while in the products there are 2 moles of SO3 only, therefore, <u>decreasing the volume will displace the balance to the right</u>, which corresponds to the sense in which there is less number of moles.
The reaction of the question is an exothermic since ΔH <0, therefore in the reaction heat is produced and it can be written in the following way,
2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) + heat
- So, if we increase the temperature we will be adding heat to the system, so the balance would move to the left to compensate for the excess heat in the system.

First, calculate the molar masses by looking up the atomic weights of all involved elements.
Atomic weight manganese = 54.938044
Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999
Atomic weight aluminium = 26.981539
Molar mass MnO2 = 54.938044 + 2 * 15.999 = 86.936044 g/mol
Now determine the number of moles of MnO2 we have
30.0 g / 86.936044 g/mol = 0.345081265 mol
Looking at the balanced equation
3MnO2+4Al→3Mn+2Al2O3
it's obvious that for every 3 moles of MnO2, it takes 4 moles of Al. So
0.345081265 mol / 3 * 4 = 0.460108353 mol
So we need 0.460108353 moles of Al to perform the reaction. Now multiply by the atomic weight of aluminum.
0.460108353 mol * 26.981539 g/mol = 12.41443146 g
Finally, round to 3 significant figures, giving 12.4 g</span>
The first step in the scientific methods is ask a question
Answer:
Z=22.70
Explanation:
It is given that,
An element Z that has two naturally occurring isotopes with the following percent abundances as follows :
The isotope with a mass number 22 is 65.0% abundant; the isotope with a mass number 24 is 35.0% abundant.
The average atomic mass for element Z is given by :
So, the average atomic mass for element Z is 22.70.
