Salam everyone

Can anyone please explain why the answer is A?

Use Le Chatelier's Principle for this question.

Le Chatelier's Principle dictates the equilibrium position to shift to one side (product or reactant), in order to counter any effect from changes in state (temperature, pressure, etc.).
In this case, the "state" that has changes is the pressure, which decreases.
Therefore, the equilibrium position needs to go in a direction that tends to raise the pressure back up. So which direction will it go?

Looking at the equation, we can see that 2 mol of reactant turns into 1 mol of product - there is a general decrease in molar amount along the reaction.
This means the forward reaction acts to lower the system's pressure, thus the backward raises it up.

Therefore, the equilibrium position shall shift towards the reactant side, and will make the mixture even more dark brown.
However, the initial state is already dark brown, so there is no visible change.

whats the vol. the capacity of a syringe?
n does any1 know when to use a syringe n when a downward displacement?

In context to paper 5, you can take any sensible volume of the syringe during experiment according to the given situation.
We use gas syringe to measure the amount of gas produced in some experiment.

M + 2 peaks are of similar height. 1:1 ration, thus X should be bromine.

Two equilibria are shown below.

reaction I 2X2(g) + Y2(g) gives 2X2Y(g)
reaction II X2Y(g) gives X2(g) + 1/2Y2(g)

The numerical value of Kc for reaction I is 2.

Under the same conditions, what is the numerical value of Kc for reaction II?

Why is the answer 1/root2???
