Describe a nonchemical system that is in equilibrium, and explain how the principles of equilibrium apply to the system.
Because calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid. What are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?

Hard water has a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions. Focusing on the calcium ion, a common home water -softening process is based on a reversible chemical change that can be expressed by Na2Ze(s)+Ca2+(aq)CaZe(s)+2Na+(aq). Na2Ze represents a solid resin that is like an ionic compound between sodium ions and zeolite ions, a complex arrangement of silicate and aluminate groups; CaZe is the corresponding calcium compound. When, during the day, is this system most likely to reach equilibrium? Why doesnt it reach equilibrium and stay there? Periodically it is necessary to recharge the water softner by running salt water, NaCl(aq), through it. Why is this necessary? What concept is discussed in this chapter does the recharging process illustrate? Zeolite ions are used in home water softners because they have a porous but rigid structure that is weakly attracted to cations, readily allowing an exchange among different ions.

. Many sugars undergo a process called mutarotation, in which the sugar molecules interconvert between two isomeric forms, finally reaching an equilibrium between them. This is true for the simple sugar glucose, C6H12O6, which exists in solution in isomeric forms called alpha-glucose and beta-glucose. If a solution of glucose at a certain temperature is analyzed, and it is found that the concentration of alpha-glucose is twice the concentration of beta-glucose, what is the value of K for the inter-conversion reaction?
