Which of the following statements about equilibrium of chemical reactions is correct? see concept 8.2 (page) a reaction that is at equilibrium is not capable of doing any work. reactions can only go in the direction toward equilibrium. most reactions in a living cell are close to equilibrium. the equilibrium point of a reaction represents the least stable configuration for that reaction. the equilibrium point is where the system has the highest free energy

6what is the importance of water on earth? a) it keeps the top layer of the geosphere cool b) it allows life to exist c) it provides ice at the poles d) it creates earth's blue color from space

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next

Consider the following unbalanced equation for the combustion of hexane: αc6h14(g)+βo2(g)→γco2(g)+δh2o(g) part a balance the equation. give your answer as an ordered set of numbers α, β, γ, use the least possible integers for the coefficients. α α , β, γ, δ = nothing request answer part b determine how many moles of o2 are required to react completely with 5.6 moles c6h14. express your answer using two significant figures. n n = nothing mol request answer provide feedback
