For the following exothermic reaction system at equilibrium: H2O(g) CO(g) CO2(g) H2(g)
Choose the changes that will increase the value of K.
a. Decrease the volume (constant T)
b. Add H2O(g) (constant T)
c. Remove H2(g) (constant T)
d. Add a catalyst (constant T)
e. Add CO2(g) (constant T)
f. Increase the temperature
g. Decrease the temperature

See explanation.

Hello there!

In this case, for the chemical reaction:

It is widely known that the the only factor altering the equilibrium constant is the temperature because of its thermodynamic definition:

Which is temperature dependent on the denominator and on the Gibbs free energy of reaction. In such a way, the answers can be just f and g, as the other factors modify Q (reaction quotient) rather than K. Thus, we can discuss about f and g:

f. This would increase K if the Gibbs free energy of reaction is positive (nonspontaneous).

g. This would increase K if the Gibbs free energy of reaction is negative (spontaneous).

It is important to discuss those two because the Gibbs free energy is not given.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms

the food using pesticides in the future will harm you by giving you diseases like cancer or something since they have things that we should not eat in it like chemicals or pesticides. that is why organic food is more expensive because they take the time to make it right and healthy for you to eat.
