Which changes occur when O2(g) is added to this system? Given the system at equilibrium: 2POCl3(g) + energy <--> 2PCl3(g) + O2(g) Which changes occur when O2(g) is added to this system? 1. The equilibrium shifts to the right and the concentration of PCl3(g) increases. 2. The equilibrium shifts to the right and the concentration of PCl3(g) decreases. 3. The equilibrium shifts to the left and the concentration of PCl3(g) increases. 4. The equilibrium shifts to the left and the concentration of PCl3(g) decreases.

4

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

lol confused the products with reactants its 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha anyway nice explanation :)

hey could you guys help me with this one question! its really hard i have 100 questions to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

according to reference table I , which of these compounds is most stable? ethane alumonum oxide ethyne or carbon dioxide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer s 4...coz when u add O2...the concentration on the right hand side is more than the left...so the system moves from right to left (high concentration to low) when this happens 02 is used up so oxygen conc decreases

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

The reaction will go in reverse if you add excess product, if you add excess reactant it will go forward. As the system wants to maintain an equilibrium between the amount of products and reactants.

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

I would guess CO2 as it is extremely oxidized

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is Al203

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

It is the most stable form of carbon

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Al2O3 would be more reactive as it is an electron acceptor, it would be a strong base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its carbon dioxide right

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

I would assume so

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

alumonum oxide would be a strong base thus reactive, as the aluminum atoms would be highly electron definicent ethane is stable but it is of a higher energy than CO2 ethyne Alkyne very unstable highly reactive acts as nucleophile CO2 most stable form of carbon when you oxidize carbon chains completely you end up with CO2 and H2O :)

yeah thats right thanks alot!
