Answer:

The website is inaccurate.

Explanation:

Remember, a chemical change is characterized by many things, but most commonly:

  1. A change in color, temperature or state.
  2. An irreversible change
  3. One or more new substances are formed

Rusting (Iron oxide) is a redox reaction (Oxidation-Reduction Reaction) where  iron molecules come in contact with water and oxygen molecules. The iron molecules lose electrons, becoming oxidized, while oxygen gains electrons, becoming reduced.

Is rust reversable? (No)

Did the colour of the iron on the surface change? (Yes)

Did a new substance form? (Yes, Read above).

Hope I helped! Have a good day!

As discussed in class, the Fischer esterification reactants and products are at equilibrium. How was the equilibrium of the reac
german

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The particular reactants in the Fischer esterification reaction were not stated.

Generally, a Fischer esterification is a reaction that proceeds as follows;

RCOOH + R'OH ⇄RCOOR' + H2O

This reaction occurs in the presence of an acid catalyst.

We can shift the equilibrium of this reaction towards the products side in two ways;

I) use of a large excess of either of the reactants

ii) removal of one of the products as it is formed.

Any of these methods shifts the equilibrium of the Fischer esterification reaction towards the products side.
