Question
a. We know that the reverse of the reaction:
left over the bang?
a.
H₂O(g) → H2(g) + 1/2O2(g)
a finite equilibrium constant of 8.581×10-4¹ at 298 K.
How could there be any hydrogen or oxygen gas
Amount at equilibrium
Mole fractions
fractions below
constant 1 bar, as such we don't need to worry about partial pressures etc.
0₂
fill out the remaining entries of the table of mole
Let's assume the pressure is maintained at a
H₂O
n(1-a)
H₂
na
4x³
(2 + a)(2-2a)²
b. Using the data above please write the expression for Kx
- using a.
c. Next, set this expression equal to the known equilibrium constant 8.581×104¹ and solve for a.
I suggest you use the on-line tool Wolfram solver. For instance, if you were trying to solve this
expression:
(XHz)(Xo,)/2
XH₂O
= 7.36 x 10-81
you would type in the following: 4*x*x*x/(2+x)/(2-2*x)/(2-2*x) =7.36e-81. Solving it would
give a=2.451×10-27.
d. Given the value of a you got in pt. c, now calculate the amount of H₂ and O₂ you have using
~na. However, do not use n=1 mol, rather, use Avogadro's number n=6.02×10²3 molecules. This
represents the number of hydrogen and oxygen molecules in equilibrium with a mole of water.
Now can you explain that the reaction is indeed very strongly slanted to the reactant (water)
side?
