### Understanding Equilibrium Shifts
**Question: How is the equilibrium affected by an increase in volume?**
**Options:**
1. ○ It shifts to the left.
2. ○ It shifts to the right.
3. ○ It has no effect.
4. ○ It cannot be determined.
---
### Explanation:
When the volume of a reaction system is increased, it typically leads to a decrease in pressure (assuming temperature is constant). According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that counteracts this change—in this case, to the side with the greater number of gas molecules.
- **Option 1: It shifts to the left.** This would be correct if the reaction produces fewer gas molecules on the left side.
- **Option 2: It shifts to the right.** This would be correct if the reaction produces more gas molecules on the right side.
- **Option 3: It has no effect.** This might be the case if the number of gas molecules is the same on both sides of the reaction.
- **Option 4: It cannot be determined.** This might be chosen if there is insufficient information about the number of gas molecules involved in the reaction.
Understanding the direction of the shift requires knowing the specific balanced equation for the reaction and the respective quantities of gas molecules on each side.

- 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 amountarrow_forwardA flask weighs 64.25 g when empty and weighs 91.75 g when filled with water at 20oC.

- 4. A solution is prepared by taking a clean and dry 50.00 mL volumetric flask. Some sucrose (Mm 342.2 g/mol) is added to the flask with the following mass measurements recorded: mass of empty volumetric flask: 142.88 g mass of weighing dish + sucrose: 29.83 g mass of weighing dish after adding sucrose to volumetric flask: 24.62 g Some water is added to the flask, the solution stirred until all the sucrose is dissolved. Then water is added carefully to the mark on the flask. The filled flask is then weighed again. mass of filled volumetric flask: 187.30 g What is the mole fraction of water? Answer to 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardJohn 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.

- Automobiles are often implicated as contributors to global warming because they are a source of the greenhouse gas CO2. How many pounds of CO2 would your car release in a year if it was driven 110. miles per week? Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is octane (molecular formula C8H18) and that it is burned completely to CO2 and H2O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages 27.3 miles per gallon and that the density of octane is 0.703 g cm-3.arrow_forwardWhen NO(g) reacts with O2 (g) according to the following reaction, 57.1 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of NO(g) that reacts.
