On a hike, Twyla traveled from an altitude of 527 meters to an altitude of 487 meters. Which statement uses absolute value correctly? * A. Since |527−487|=40 , Twyla went down 40 meters in altitude.

B. Since |527−487|=40 , Twyla went up 40 meters in altitude.

C. Since |527−487|=−40 , Twyla went up 40 meters in altitude.

D. Since |527−487|=−40 , Twyla went down 40 meters in altitude.

answer:

the position of equilibrium will shift to the left.

step-by-step explanation:

the general equation for the dissociation of a weak base is

b + h₂o   ⇌   bh⁺ + oh⁻

according to le châtelier's principle, when a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a way that tends to relieve the stress.

if you apply a stress by adding more bh⁺ or oh⁻,   the system will respond by moving in a direction that gets rid of the added ions.

the position of equilibrium will shift to the left, forming more of the undissociated base.
