The given sentence is part of a longer question.

I found this question with the same sentence. So, I will help you using this question:

For the reaction N2O4(g) ⇄ 2NO2(g), a reaction mixture at a certain temperature initially contains both N2O4 and NO2 in their standard states (meaning they are gases with a pressure of 1 atm). If Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before any reaction occurs?

(a) Q = K;   The reaction is at equilibrium.
(b) Q < K;   The reaction will proceed to the right.
(c) Q > K;   The reaction will proceed to the left.

The answer is the option (c) Q > K; The reaction will proceed to the left, since Qp = 1, and 1 > 0.15.
Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant in term of the partial pressures of the gases.

Q is the reaction quotient. It is a measure of the progress of a chemical reaction.

The reaction quotient has the same form of the equilibrium constant but using the concentrations or partial pressures at any moment.

At equilibrium both Kp and Q are equal. Q = Kp

If Q < Kp then the reaction will go to the right (forward reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium,

If Q > Kp then the reaction will go to the left (reverse reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium.

Here, the state is that both pressures are 1 atm, so Q = (1)^2 / 1 = 1.

Since, Q = 1 and Kp = 0.15, Q > Kp and the reaction will proceed to the left.

Answer from: Quest

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

In a laboratory experiment, a fermenting aqueous solution of glucose and yeast produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. the solution was heated by burning natural gas in a bunsen burner to distill the ethanol that formed in the flask. during the distillation, the ethanol evaporated and then condensed in the receiving flask. the flame of the burner was kept too close to the bottom of the flask and some of the glucose decomposed into a black carbon deposit on the inside of the flask. during this experiment the following changes occurred. which of these changes involved a physical change and not a chemical change? check all that apply. 1-condensation of ethanol 2-evaporation of ethanol 3- formation of carbon dioxide gas from glucose burning of natural gas 4-formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast 5-formation of a carbon deposit inside the flask

Will give ! what are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power? check all that apply. one advantage of nuclear energy is that it does not produce carbon dioxide emissions. storage of nuclear waste is a short-term problem associated with nuclear energy. the problem with uranium mining is that a large quantity of uranium must be extracted to meet energy needs because the energy release from uranium fission is so low. safe operation of a nuclear power plant can be jeopardized by a human mistake.
