Since the temperature
is a constant, we can use Boyle's law to solve this.<span>
<span>Boyle' law says "at a constant temperature, the
pressure of a fixed amount of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its
volume.
P α 1/V
</span>⇒
PV = k (constant)<span>
Where, P is the pressure of the gas and V is the
volume.
<span>Here, we assume that the </span>gas in the balloon is an ideal gas.
We can use Boyle's law for these two situations as,
P</span>₁V₁ = P₂V₂<span>
P₁ = 100.0 kPa = 1 x 10⁵ Pa
V₁ =
3.3 L
P₂ =
90.0 x 10³ Pa
V₂ =?
By substitution,
1 x 10⁵ Pa x 3.3 L = 90 x 10³ Pa x V₂</span><span>
V</span>₂ = 3.7 L<span>
</span><span>Hence, the volume of gas when pressure is 90.0 kPa
is 3.7 L.</span></span>
Answer: Increasing the concentration of a reactant or decreasing the concentration of the product.
Explanation: For the equilibrium of the reaction to shift to the left, we must decrease the concentration of a reactant or increase the concentration of the product. This is based on Le Chatelier's principle which describes the effect on the equilibrium of changes in concentration or pressure of a product or a reactant. Adding more products in a system would disturb the equilibrium thus it would cause to reestablish it by shifting the reaction to the left producing the reactants. This would also be the same when you decrease the number of reactants in the system.
The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. An example of this is the empirical formula for glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is C₃H₆O₃.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
