3. Look at the reaction below: H2O + C —— CO+ H2

AH = +130kJ mol^-1

Explain what happens to the position of equilibrium if we:
a. increase the pressure

b. increase the concentration of hydrogen gas

c. increase the temperature

d. add a catalyst

Explanation:

a. pressure always favors the side with fewer molecules. in this reaction as both the sides have equal number of molecules, there won't be any change in the position of the equilibrium.

b. when the concentration of the hydrogen gas is increased. more particles would take place in the reaction and so, the rate of reaction would increase favoring the reaction concerning hydrogen gas molecules (backward reaction in this case) therefore, equilibrium would shift to the backward reaction (left).

c. as forward reaction is endothermic, when temperature is increased the equilibrium will shift to the forward reaction (right).

d. catalyst would not have any effect on the position of the equilibrium. it will only increase the rate of reaction.

hope it helps. :)

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
