What change would not result in the equilibrium position shifting to the left? 2 A (g) + B (s) Two arrows stacked on top of each other. The top arrow points to the right. The bottom arrow points to the left. 3 C (g) + Energy Increasing the pressure Adding more of gas C to the system Removing some of A from the system Cooling the system

@taramgrant0543664

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im going with b !

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

Adding more C would shift the equilibrium to go left ward

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@taramgrant0543664 so im correct?

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

You want which change does NOT make the equilibrium shift left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so a would be correct @taramgrant0543664 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@JoannaBlackwelder you there?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yeah, increasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium toward less gas molecules, so no, not a.

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

yes Joanna has that right it would not be A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

MY LAST OPTION IS C MAKES THE MOST SENSE

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

Removing Some of A from the system will shift the reaction to go left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c will be ocrrect? @JoannaBlackwelder

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, we want to shift the equilibrium right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my final choice is d

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Haha, yep. Cooling the system removes energy, which is a product. So it will shift right. :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha ok

The space shuttle uses ammonium perchlorate and aluminum to create an explosive reaction. The reaction can be seen below. 2 NH4ClO4 (s) + 2 Al (s) yields Al2O3 (g) + 2 HCl (g) + 2 NO(g) + 3 H2O (g) Which of the following statements correctly describes this reaction? Aluminum is oxidized because it lost electrons. Aluminum is oxidized because it gained electrons. Oxygen is oxidized because it lost electrons. Oxygen is oxidized because it gained electrons.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im going with b @JoannaBlackwelder

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Why do you think it is b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause te eqation is gainign electrons

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Hm, the whole reaction is gaining electrons? Why would that mean that Al is gaining electrons?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true so b is incorrect ;(

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so a is correct

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Why do you think a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause electorns are being lost

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

How do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because electons are being losy

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Hm, I agree that electrons are being lost, and they are also being gained. How do you know that Al is doing the losing and not the gaining?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@JoannaBlackwelder really dont kno

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mehek14

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

We can tell by finding their oxidation numbers in the products and reactants. Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

So, what are they for Al and O on each side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+3 and -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@JoannaBlackwelder is b correct or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e igotta go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuase

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, b is incorrect.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

And your oxidation are incorrect

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

*numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c would be correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes or no before igo

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, you need to work on your fundamentals and not just guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d ;)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I'm not going to narrow it down more for you. http://www.chemteam.info/Redox/Redox-Rules.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but igotta go and it the last quesiton ? comeon d is correct or is another choice correct medel will be rewarded please ;_

OpenStudy (anonymous):

;) @JoannaBlackwelder

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I'm not just going to give you the answer. That is against openstudy policy and is generally called cheating. I gave you the info you need to find it yourself, but you are just guessing. If you want to put effort into actually understanding the problem I would be happy to help.
