5 0

Answer:

<em>The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels to a lower one</em>, the excess energy is emitted as a photon of light, with its wavelength dependent on the change in electron energy. This is why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength.

What effect does an increase in products have on the reaction rate of a mixture at equilibrium? A. The forward reaction rate inc
Anna007 [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>D. The reverse reaction rate increases.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The<em> rate of reverse</em> increases if the products are increased in a mixture at equilibrium.

At first,<em> rate of forward and backward</em> reactions are same for a <em>mixture in equilibrium. </em>

<em>If we add products or,the reaction moves to the opposite side I.e towards reactants side.</em>

so,according to the Le Chateliers principle,the reaction shifts opposite to the side of increase. so,according to the Le Chateliers priciple, <em>the rate of reverse or backward reaction will increase with the increase in the products.</em>
