### Chemical Equilibrium and Reaction Rates

#### 4. Reaction Analysis

Both the forward and reverse reactions in the following equilibrium are believed to be elementary steps:

\[ \text{CO}(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{COCl}_2(g) \]

**At 25°C,** the rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions are \(2.1 \times 10^2 \, \text{M}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}\) and \(8.8 \times 10^9 \, \text{M}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}\), respectively.

a. **Determine the equilibrium constant, \(K_c\), at 25°C for this reaction.**

b. **When equilibrium is reached, which is favored, products or reactants?**

#### 5. Reaction Equilibrium Analysis

**Consider the following reaction:**

\[ \text{H}_2(g) + \text{F}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{HF}(g) \]

*At equilibrium in a particular experiment, the concentrations of \(\text{H}_2\), \(\text{F}_2\), and \(\text{HF}\) were \(0.11 \, \text{M}\), \(0.041 \, \text{M}\), and \(0.66 \, \text{M}\) respectively. What is the value of \(K_c\) for this reaction?*
