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)

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.
