In general, for a system at equilibrium, indicate the direction the equilibrium will shift for the following change. The concentration of one or more of the products is decreased.
Which of the following is true for a system whose equilibrium constant is much greater than one? The reaction mixture contains mostly products at equilibrium. The reaction mixture contains mostly reactants at equilibrium. O The rate of reaction is very fast. The moles of reactants and products are relatively similar at equilibrium. Both A and C.
1. When solid magnesium phosphate is in equilibrium with its ions, the ratio of magnesium ions to phosphate ions is:
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.
Q3. At 298 K, F3SSF(g) decomposes partially to SF2(g). At equilibrium, the partial pressure of SF2(g) is 1.1X10-4 atm and the partial pressure of F3SSF is 0.0484 atm. (a) Write a balanced equilibrium equation to represent this reaction. (b) Compute the equilibrium constant corresponding to the equation you wrote. (c) Some SF2 (at a partial pressure of 2.3X10-4 atm) is placed in a closed container at 298 K with some F3SSF (at a partial pressure of 0.0484 atm). Enough argon is added to raise the total pressure to 1.000 atm. Calculate the initial reaction quotient for the decomposition of F3SSF to SF2.
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.
