Question

Consider the equilibrium between C6H5CH2OHC6H5CHO and H2.

C6H5CH2OH(g) C6H5CHO(g) + H2(g)       K = 2.31×10-2 at 550 K

The reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium in a 6.30-L flask. At equilibrium, [C6H5CH2OH] = 0.485 M, [C6H5CHO] = 0.106 M and [H2] = 0.106 M.
(a) The equilibrium mixture is transferred to a 12.6-L flask. In which direction will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?

(b) Calculate the new equilibrium concentrations that result when the equilibrium mixture is transferred to a 12.6-L flask.

[C6H5CH2OH] =  M
[C6H5CHO] =  M
[H2] =  M
