(a) By using a suitable trigonometrical identity, solve the equation tan(2x-π/6)^2 =11-sec(2x-π/6)giving all values of x in radians to two decimal places in the interval 0<=x <=π .

say (2x-π/6)=qtan²q = sec²q-1so sec²q-1= 11 - sec q sec²q + sec q -12 = 0(sec q -3) (sec q + 4) = 0sec q = 3 or -4because 0<=x<= πso -π/6 <= q <= 11...

Describe the changes in equilibrium of ethanol production from ethene and water (enthalpy of reaction is ∆H = - 46 kJ/mol) when: (a) a high pressure is applied; (b) ethanol concentration is increased; (c) temperature is increased; (d) a catalyst is used.

The equation for the reaction (would be given for this type of question but I ran out of space): C₂H₄ (g) + H₂O (g) ⇌ C₂H₅OH (g) ∆H = - 46 kJ/molQues...
