Hi everyone here we have a question asking which of the following will not affect the concentration of ammonia in the following exit thermic reaction at equilibrium nitrogen gash plus three hydrogen gasses forms to ammonia gasses. So a increasing temperature will shift away from added heat will decrease the concentration of ammonia B, decreasing volume, four moles of gas reacting and two moles of gas product will increase pressure. Will shift reaction to less gas moles will increase ammonia, see increasing pressure, increasing pressure will also shift the reaction to less gas animals will increase ammonia D adding a catalyst to the reaction mixture catalyst, increased rate of reaction but not the concentration of the product of reaction, so it will not change in the amount. So our answer here is the thank you for watching. Bye.

Textbook Question

Coal can be used to generate hydrogen gas (a potential fuel) by the endothermic reaction: C(s) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H2(g) If this reaction mixture is at equilibrium, predict whether each disturbance will result in the formation of additional hydrogen gas, the formation of less hydrogen gas, or have no effect on the quantity of hydrogen gas. e. adding a catalyst to the reaction mixture

Textbook Question

Carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in oxygenated hemoglobin according to the reaction: HbO2(aq) + CO(aq) ⇌ HbCO(aq) + O2(aq) a. Use the reactions and associated equilibrium constants at body temperature given here to find the equilibrium con- stant for the reaction just shown. Hb(aq) + O2(aq) ⇌ HbO2(aq) Kc = 1.8 Hb(aq) + CO(aq) ⇌ HbCO(aq) Kc = 306

At 650 K, the reaction MgCO3(s) ⇌ MgO(s) + CO2(g) has Kp = 0.026. A 10.0-L container at 650 K has 1.0 g of MgO(s) and CO2 at P = 0.0260 atm. The container is then compressed to a volume of 0.100 L. Find the mass of MgCO3 that is formed.
