Answer:

D. There is no net change to the system

Explanation:

Equilibrium means "equal". In a chemical system, changes occur in substances called the reactants to produce another substance called the products. These changes from reactants to products and vice versa occur at an uneven rate until EQUILIBRIUM is reached.

In other words, equilibrium is attained when the reactants and products are formed at an equal or constant rate i.e. There is no net change to the system. For example, in the chemical system below:

A + B ⇌ C + D

This system is said to be at "EQUILIBRIUM" if the rate of reaction of the reactants (A and B) is equal to that of the products (C and D). That is, there is no net change (difference) in the reaction rate.

Which formula is an empirical formula?

poizon [28]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The empirical formula is the option B. $NH_{3}$

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that can be written. On the opposite, the molecular formula involves a variant of the same compound, but it can be also simplified to an empirical formula.

$MolecularFormula=n(EmpiricalFormula)$

We are looking for a formula that cannot be simplified by dividing the number of molecules/atoms that conforms the compound.

Let's discard option by option in order to find which formula is an empirical formula (cannot be simplified)

A. $N_{2}O_{4}$

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

$N_{2}O_{4}=2(NO_{2})$

B. $NH_{3}$

It's an empirical formula since it cannot be obtained by the multiplication of a whole number and the simplest formula. It's the simplest formula that we can find of the compound.

C. $C_{3}H_{6}$
