3H2(g) + N2(g) ⟷⟷ 2NH3(g) + Heat **Question**: How is the equilibrium affected by a decrease in temperature?**Options**:1. ⃝ Cannot be determined2. ⃝ It shifts to the left.3. ⃝ It shifts to the right.4. ⃝ It has no effect.### Detailed Explanation:In the context of chemical equilibrium, the response to a change in temperature can be understood through Le Chatelier's Principle, which states that a system at equilibrium will react to counteract any imposed change. When temperature is decreased in a system:1. **Exothermic Reaction**: If the reaction releases heat (exothermic), a decrease in temperature causes the equilibrium to shift towards the products. Hence, the equilibrium shifts to the right to produce more heat.2. **Endothermic Reaction**: If the reaction absorbs heat (endothermic), a decrease in temperature causes the equilibrium to shift towards the reactants. Hence, the equilibrium shifts to the left to absorb more heat.Thus, the direction in which the equilibrium shifts depends on whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Therefore, the answer to the given question typically requires knowing the nature of the reaction. Based on the generic understanding of exothermic reactions:**Correct Answer**: ⃝ It shifts to the right. (assuming an exothermic reaction)

One of the steps in the commercial process for converting ammonia to nitric acid is the conversion of NH3NH3 to NONO: 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)→4NO(g)+6H2O(g)4NH3(g)+5O2(g)→4NO(g)+6H2O(g) In a certain experiment, 1.25 gg of NH3NH3 reacts with 1.75 g of O2O2. question: How many grams of the excess reactant remain after the limiting reactant is completely consumed? Express your answer in grams to three significant figures
Ethanol, C,H,O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol. The heat of combustion of 2-methylheptane, C3H18, is 1.306×10³ kcal/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 482 grams of 2-methylheptane ? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 482 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 482 grams of 2- methylheptane v more less the same amount
Acrylonitrile is an important building block for synthetic fibers and plastics. Over 1.4 billion kilograms of acrylonitrile are produced in the United States each year. The compound is synthesized from propene (C3H6) in the following reaction: 2C3H6(g) + 2NH3(g) + 30₂(g) →2C3H3N(I) + 6H₂O(g) Determine how many kg of acrylonitrile can be prepared from 1480 kg of propene, 788 kg of ammonia, and 1980 kg of oxygen.
The human body burns glucose (C6H₁2O6) for energy according to this chemical reaction: C6H12O6 +60₂-6CO₂ + 6H₂O The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500. mL of air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO₂ and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 2.9 kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 1.00 kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO₂ is 2.0 kg/m³. 0 ☐ ☐x10 X

John and Eli do a reaction with the goal to prove the law os conservation of mass. In the reaction, they place 50.00 g of acetic acid (CH3COOH) in a clean, dry ziploc bag and then add 5.00 g of baking soda (NaHCO3). The products of the reaction include sodium acetate, carbon dioxide, and water. In trial 1, Eli immediately seals the bag upon addition of the baking soda and waits until the bubbling comes to a halt. John weighs the closed bag with all contents and records mass in the table. For trial 2, John and Eli repeat the procedure but forgot to seal the bag. Their results are shown in the table below. 1. Calculate the theoretical mass of the open bag. 2. Are atoms/mass conserved in each of the reactions? 3. Provide mathematical evidence to explain your reasoning that atoms/mass are/are not conserved.
