Why do scientists track virus mutations and how might tracking these variants be helpful in preventing and treating the virus?

Calculate the change in entropy if br2(l) is converted into gaseous br atoms. s° for br2(l) = 152.2 j/(mol•k) s° for br2(g) = 245.5 j/(mol•k) s° for br(g) = 175.0 j/(mol•k)

In a chemical reaction at equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction the rate of the reverse reaction. if the rate of the forward reaction more products are formed.

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. 2co2 (g) 2co (g) + o2 (g) h° = -514 kj le châtelier's principle predicts that the equilibrium partial pressure of co (g) can be maximized by carrying out the reaction a. at high temperature and high pressure b. at high temperature and low pressure c. at low temperature and low pressure d. at low temperature and high pressure e. in the presence of solid carbon
