Select the correct answer. How does adding oxygen (O2) to this reaction change the equilibrium?
2502(g) + O2(g) = 2503(8)

answer by yourhope:

how do models compare to real-world objects?

d. most models represent a real-world object in a simpler way.

: )

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
