If water has no color, why does your hair get darker when water makes contact with it?

Answer:

The water makes your individual hairs stick close together. ... When more light is absorbed by your wet hair, less light gets reflected back to your eyes. The result is that your hair appears darker than when it's dry.

How is density related to the color of igneous rocks?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The density of igneous rocks is related to its color. Darker colored rocks have a higher density because of its greater mineral and iron content. Its characteristics is opposite compared to lighter colored rocks that have less density because of lower mineral and iron content

Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. The forward reaction i

anygoal [31]

Answer:

A. for K>>1 you can say that the reaction is nearly irreversible so the forward direction is favored. (Products formation)

B. When the temperature rises the equilibrium is going to change but to know how is going to change you have to take into account the kind of reaction. For endothermic reactions (the reverse reaction is favored) and for exothermic reactions (the forward reaction is favored)

Explanation:

A. The equilibrium constant K is defined as

$K=\frac{Products}{reagents}$

In any case

aA +Bb equilibrium Cd +dD

where K is:

$K= \frac{[C]^{c}[D]^{d}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}$

[] is molar concentration.

If K>>> 1 it means that the molar concentration of products is a lot bigger that the molar concentration of reagents, so the forward reaction is favored.

B. The relation between K and temperature is given by the Van't Hoff equation

$ln(\frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}})=\frac{-delta H^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})$

Where: H is reaction enthalpy, R is the gas constant and T temperature.

Clearing the equation for $K_{2}$ we get:

$K_{2}=\frac{K_{1}}{e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}$

Here we can study two cases: when delta $H^{o}$ is positive (exothermic reactions) and when is negative (endothermic reactions)

For exothermic reactions when we increase the temperature the denominator in the equation would have a negative exponent so $K_{2}$ is greater that $K_{1}$ and the forward reaction is favored.

When we have an endothermic reaction we will have a positive exponent so $K_{2}$ will be less than $K_{1}$ the forward reactions is not favored.

${e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}$
