Consider the following homogenous reaction:
aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

The equilibrium constant is written as:
Kc = ([C]^c * [D]^d) / ([A]^a * [B]^b)
Therefore the equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of the products to concentration of the reactants at equilibrium.

For a heterogenous reaction, the species that are not in the same physical state as the rest of the chemical species are omitted from the expression. Considering the previous reaction, if reactant A was solid and the remaining were gaseous, the expression will be:
Kc = ([C]^c * [D]^d) / [B]^b

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

1. I shifts toward products and II shifts toward reactants.

Explanation:

Hello,

In his case, since the reaction I) is endothermic (positive ∆H°) and the reaction II) is exothermic (negative ∆H°):

- In the first case, the energy is understood as a reactant, so if the temperature increases, heat is added so the reaction will shift rightwards (towards products).

- In the second case, the energy is understood as a product, so if the temperature increases, heat is added so the reaction will shift leftwards (towards reactants).

Therefore, the answer is:

1. I shifts toward products and II shifts toward reactants.

Best regards.

Why is it that the decomposition of nitroglycerin can result in so
patriot [66]

Answer:

with the molecular formula C3H5(ONO2)3, has a high nitrogen content (18.5 percent) and contains sufficient oxygen atoms to oxidize the carbon and hydrogen atoms while nitrogen is being liberated, so that it is one of the most powerful explosives known.

Explanation:

NTG reduces preload via venous dilation, and achieves modest afterload reduction via arterial dilation. These effects result in decreased myocardial oxygen demand. In addition, NTG induces coronary vasodilation, thereby increasing oxygen delivery.
