How can a reversible reaction be reversed?

Reversible reactions are those where the products are in equilibrium at a set of conditions. For one of the most simple examples to illustrate this, look at ice water. At equilibrium conditions, a class of ice water is half ice and half water. If you shift the conditions by heating the ice water, ice will melt to bring the temperature back to equilibrium conditions but the ratio of ice to water will have changed.


Does melted water conduct?

Water must have an impurity in it to be conductive. melted ice in nature would have various minerals that may make it conductive. Distilled water will not conduct the high amperage, low voltage required in the electrolysis process when separating hydrogen from the oxygen molecules in an oxygen generator. It would have impurities added to make it conductive.


Which element changes to gas state from solid state on heating?

ICE Ice is not an element, but iodine is. It will sublime - meaning it will go from a solid state to a gaseous state. Another common example is a compound, dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide. Under the proper conditions, most elements will sublime. Consult the phase diagram for a given element to find out the conditions required.


What is A period when ice collects in high latitudes and move to lower latitudes is an?

An ice age. During an ice age, there is an accumulation of ice at the polar regions which then moves towards lower latitudes due to the Earth's climate and atmospheric conditions. This results in glaciation and the formation of ice sheets and glaciers in areas that are typically not covered in ice.

a high plateau with frigid, dry conditions

What condition must be present for carburetor ice to form?

High Relative Humidity


Why does your car stalls when raining?

The "venturi effect", a principle used by carburetors, causes a decrease in pressure where the fuel is drawn into the air stream. The pressure decrease can result in ice formation, which seriously affects the way the carburetor functions, and can result in stalling. Throttle body injection is also prone to this problem. It's more common during rain because of the relatively cool temperature and the high humidity level in the air that's going into the carburetor. New "production" vehicles have a carburetor de-icing that can pre-heat the air under conditions that may cause ice buildup.

Why is there ice at the top and bottom of the world?

Because heat from the sun is most spread at these points resulting in less heat reaching both poles, causing widespread ice and persistent wintry conditions


Will carb icing happen less than 20f?

Generally, if the moisture in the air is already frozen into ice crystals, they will not freeze to the sides of the carburetor. Where it becomes an issue is if you were to apply carburetor heat in this scenario. If it is only slightly below freezing, applying carb heat can melt the ice crystals into water, which can then collect and freeze in the carburetor. So applying carb heat below 0'C (or 32'F) can sometime make the situation worse.


Why is ice special?

The most "special" property of ice is that, under conditions near Earth normal, it's one of a very few substances where the solid form is less dense than the liquid form.
