Accepted Answer

The vapor pressure decreases.

Question 8

Given the following equilibrium: $$	ext{N}_2(g) + 3	ext{H}_2(g) ightleftharpoons 2	ext{NH}_3(g)$$, what will happen if the pressure is increased by decreasing the volume?

Accepted Answer

The equilibrium will shift toward the side with fewer moles of gas.

Question 9

Which of the following is the correct expression for the solubility product constant ($$K_{sp}) $$for $$	ext{AgCl}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$K_{sp} = [	ext{Ag}^+][	ext{Cl}^-]$$

Question 10

A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.10 mol of NaCl in 1.0 L of water. Which colligative property will be affected, and how?

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct form of the Arrhenius equation?

Accepted Answer

$$k = A e$$^{-E_a/RT}$$

Question 12

Which of the following statements about entropy ($$S) is $$correct?

Accepted Answer

10 g

Question 18

Which of the following best describes the effect of a catalyst on the activation energy and the rate of a reaction?

Accepted Answer

A catalyst decreases the activation energy and increases the rate.

Question 19
