Calculate the equilibrium concentrations that result when 0.25 M O2 and 1.0 M HCl react and come to equilibrium. 4HCl(g)+O2(g)2Cl2+2H2O(g)Kc=3.11013
. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?
Suppose a reaction has the equilibrium constant K = 1.3 108. What does the magnitude of this constant tell you about the relative concentrations of products and reactants that will be present once equilibrium is reached? Is this reaction likely to be a good source of the products?
What is the law of mass action? Is it true that the value of K depends on the amounts of reactants and products mixed together initially? Explain. Is it true that reactions with large equilibrium constant values are very fast? Explain. There is only one value of the equilibrium constant for a particular system at a particular temperature, but there is an infinite number of equilibrium positions. Explain.
The value of the equilibrium constant, K, is dependent on which of the following? (There may be more than one answer.) a. the initial concentrations of the reactants b. the initial concentrations of the products c. the temperature of the system d. the nature of the reactants and products Explain.
The creation of shells by mollusk species is a fascinating process. By utilizing the Ca2+ in their food and aqueous environment, as well as some complex equilibrium processes, a hard calcium carbonate shell can be produced. One important equilibrium reaction in this complex process is HCO3(aq)H+(aq)+CO32(aq)K=5.61011 If 0.16 mole of HCO3 is placed into 1.00 L of solution, what will be the equilibrium concentration of CO32?
The chapter opening photograph (page 670) showed how the cobalt(II) chloride equilibrium responded to temperature changes. (a) Look back at that photograph. Is the conversion of the red cation to the blue anion exothermic or endothermic? (b) If hydrochloric acid is added to the violet mixture of cobalt(II) ions shown below, the blue CoCl42 ion is favored. If water is then added to the mixture, a red solution favoring [Co(H2O)]2+ results. Explain these observations in terms of Le Chateliers principle. (c) How do these observations prove the reaction is reversible?
Because calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid. What are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?
Explain that equilibrium is dynamic, and that at equilibrium the forward and backward reaction rates are equal.
Consider the reaction 2N2O(g) + O2(g) 4NO(g) Suppose the system is at equilibrium, and then an additional mole of N2O(g) is injected into the system at constant temperature. Once the reaction reestablishes equilibrium, has the amount of N2O increased or decreased from its original equilibrium amount? Explain. What happens to the value of the equilibrium constant with this change?
Consider the reaction N2O4(g)2NO2(g). Draw a graph illustrating the changes of concentrations of N2O4 and NO2 as equilibrium is approached. Describe how the rates of the forward and reverse reactions change as the mixture approaches dynamic equilibrium. Why is this called a dynamic equilibrium?
For the generalized chemical reaction A(g)+B(g)C(g)+D(g) determine whether the concentration of A in an equilibrium mixture will (1) increase, (2) decrease, or (3) not change when each of the following changes is effected. a. concentration of B is increased b. concentration of C is decreased c. concentration of D is increased d. concentration of D is decreased
