How does the equilibrium change to counter the removal of a in this reaction? a + b ⇌ ab the simultaneously, there’s an increase in the . blank 1: shifts right shifts left is unaffected blank 2: reverse forward exothermic endothermic

Answer : The correct option for blank 1 is, Shifts left.

The correct option for blank 2 is, Reverse.

Explanation :

According to the Le Chatelier's Principle, when the addition of the reactant in reaction system then the equilibrium will shift to the right (forward) direction of the reaction.

Or, if we remove the reactants from the reaction system then the equilibrium will be shifted to the left (backward) direction of the reaction. And simultaneously, there will be increase in the reverse reaction for the attainment of the equilibrium.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
