Explain, in terms of particles, concentration, and reaction rate, what you expect to happen when liquid water is sealed in a flask on a warm day and reaches a state of equilibrium. H2O (l) H2O (g).

Respuesta :

Answer:

Kinetic Energy is involved here

Explanation:

On a warm day, the temperature of H20(l) will be high and that will make the particles of water to possess more kinetic energy and particles tend to move faster. Due to the fast movement of the particles, some of the particles turns into gaseous form (vapour). This makes the volume (concentration) of the liquid water decrease while that of the vapour keeps increasing due to the temperature of the day, until the equilibrium point is reached. At the equilibrium point, the forward and the backward rates are equal and the concentration of liquid water and vapour is the same.
