What else can I help you with?
In a heterogeneous equilibrium system the reactants and products exist in what?
Different physical states
In what system can reactants exist in the same physical states?
Reactants can exist in the same physical state in a homogeneous system. This means that all the reactants are in the same phase, such as all being in the gas phase or all being in the liquid phase. This is common in reactions that occur in solutions or gases.
How does adding inert gas to an equilibrium system affect the distribution of reactants and products?
Adding inert gas to an equilibrium system does not affect the distribution of reactants and products. The inert gas does not participate in the reaction and therefore does not change the concentrations of the reactants and products in the system.
How is a battery different to a cell?
A fuel cell is different from a battery cell in so far as reactants are constantly supplied to a fuel cell making it an open system whereas a battery cell is a closed system that stores the reactants within it. A fuel cell works as long as fuel is supplied to it whereas a battery cell requires regular replacements.
How does Le Chatelier's Principle apply to changes in an aqueous solution?
Le Chatelier's Principle states that when a system in equilibrium is disturbed, it will shift to counteract the disturbance. In an aqueous solution, this means that if you change the concentration of reactants or products, the system will adjust to restore equilibrium. For example, if you add more reactants, the system will shift to produce more products to balance it out.
What is the difference between a heterogeneous reaction and a homogeneous reaction?
In homogenous reaction all the components/reactants taking part in the reaction form one single phase, with the reaction occurring in the bulk of this system. In heterogeneous reaction all the components/reactants taking part in the reaction are in different phases, with the reaction occurring between the delimiting surface of the components/reactants.
Does The Law of Conservation of Matter states that The products of a reaction will contain the same amount ofmatter than the reactants had before a reaction.?
Yes, the Law of Conservation of Matter states that the total amount of matter remains constant in a closed system during a chemical reaction. This means that the mass of the reactants before the reaction is equal to the mass of the products after the reaction. Thus, the products will contain the same amount of matter as the reactants had.
How is a fuel cell different to a battery?
A fuel cell is different from a battery cell in so far as reactants are constantly supplied to a fuel cell making it an open system whereas a battery cell is a closed system that stores the reactants within it. A fuel cell works as long as fuel is supplied to it whereas a battery cell requires regular replacements.
Does The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is conserved in a reaction system?
Yes, the Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is conserved in a closed system, meaning that the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction.
Why is the SI system easy to use?
SI system is a rationalised MKS system.The earlier MKS system provided different units for different physical quantities, which was not at all convinient to use. But, the MKS system provides single unit for different physical quantities,which makes it convinient. The CGS system could not find solutions to physical quantities not involving LENGTH,TIME and MASS. Hence, it could not be used. The FPS system or BUS system was not a metric system and hence was not useful.
How can observing an experiment alter the outcome?
On the very small scale, i.e. quantum mechanics, a system is not in a specific state but there are different probabilities for the different states. By observing (measure) a physical property the system is forced into one of the possible states. The problem is that not all properties are mutually measurable, when one property is observed the other one is changed (because the first observation forces the system into one specific state).
What does stressing an equilibrium system mean how is stress applied?
Stressing an equilibrium system involves changing the conditions of the system to disturb the equilibrium. This can be done by changing the temperature, pressure, or concentration of reactants/products. Stress can be applied by adding or removing reactants/products or changing the temperature or pressure of the system.
