Chapter 1 question 6: Ammonia has been studied as an alternative "clean" fuel for internal combustion engines, since its reaction with oxygen produces only nitrogen and water vapor, and in the liquid form it is easily transported. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 50.0L tank with 4.6 mol of ammonia gas and 4.5 mol of oxygen gas, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of nitrogen gas to be 1.2 mol. Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the combustion of ammonia at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

7:42 Question 45 of 50 Submit The reaction of NO(g) + Cl₂(g) = NOCI(g) + Cl(g) is found to have an equilibrium constant of 1.1x10³ at a particular temperature. What does this mean? A) At equilibrium, there is a much higher concentration of reactants than products. B) At equilibrium, there is a much higher concentration of products than reactants. C) At equilibrium, there is an equal concentration of reactants and products. D) At equilibrium, the relative concentrations of reactants and products depends on the initial concentrations.

For any reversible reaction containing a double arrow such as: Reactants Products the statement "equilibrium shifts to the right" means: The reaction can only go in the forward direction. The reaction can only go in the reverse direction. A stress will cause a portion of reactants to disappear and some additional veadde on snpoud A stress will cause a portion of products to disappear and some additional reactants to appear
What is true about the forward and reverse reaction rates once chemical equilibrium is established? The reverse rate is always faster than the forward rate. Both the forward and reverse rates are equal Impossible to determine because it depends on the reaction. The forward rate is always faster than the reverse rate.
When a reaction's reaction quotient is smaller than its equilibrium constant, what does this indicate about the reaction's equilibrium? The reaction must proceed in the reverse direction to return to equilibrium. The reaction is at equilibrium and will not change. O The reaction must proceed in the forward direction to return to equilibrium. O Nothing. There is no relationship between the reaction quotient and equilibrium constant.
A reaction begins with a solution containing reactants but no products. When the reaction reaches equilibruim a) The enthalpies of the reactants and products are equal b) The concentrations of the reactants and products are equal c) The equilibrium constant has decreased relative to its value at the start of the reaction d) The forward and reverse rate constants are equal e) None of the above
Most medications have an expiration date. Describe with respect to equilibrium, what occurring as the medication ages. Is there any of the medication left after the expiration date?
1. What is meant when a reaction is described as “having reached equilibrium"? What does this statement mean regarding the forward and reverse reaction rates? What does this statement mean regarding the amounts or concentrations of the reactants and the products? 2. In your own words, explain the "Law of Mass Action".
What approximation can be made when the equilibrium constant is very small in order to simplify the math involved with an equilibrium problem? O a) Assume the concentration of each product equals zero. b) Assume this problem cannot be solved by mere humans. c) Assume the reactant concentrations go to zero. d) Assume that the reactant concentrations do not change significantly.
