The hydrocarbon naphthalene was frequently used in mothballs until recently, when it was discovered that human inhalation of naphthalene vapors can lead to hemolytic anemia. Naphthalene is 93.71% carbon by mass, and a 0.256-mole sample of naphthalene has a mass of 32.8 g. What is the molecular formula of naphthalene? This compound works as a pesticide in mothballs by. sublimation of the .solid so that it fumigates enclosed spaces with its vapors according to the equation Naphthalene(s)naphthalene(g)K=4.29106(at298K) If 3.00 g solid naphthalene is placed into an enclosed space with a volume of 5.00 L at 25C, what percentage of the naphthalene will have sublimed once equilibrium bas been established?
According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?
The following data apply to the unbalanced equation A(g)B(g) (a) On the basis of the data, balance the equation (simplest whole-number coefficients). (b) Has the system reached equilibrium? Explain.
. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?
Suppose a reaction has the equilibrium constant K = 1.3 108. What does the magnitude of this constant tell you about the relative concentrations of products and reactants that will be present once equilibrium is reached? Is this reaction likely to be a good source of the products?

Consider the reaction 2N2O(g) + O2(g) 4NO(g) Suppose the system is at equilibrium, and then an additional mole of N2O(g) is injected into the system at constant temperature. Once the reaction reestablishes equilibrium, has the amount of N2O increased or decreased from its original equilibrium amount? Explain. What happens to the value of the equilibrium constant with this change?
A student set up an experiment for six different trials of the reaction between 1.00-M aqueous acetic acid, CH3COOH, and solid sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3. CH3COOH(aq) + NaHCO3(s) NaCH3CO2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O() The volume of acetic acid was kept constant, but the mass of sodium bicarbonate increased with each trial. The results of the tests are shown in the figure. (a) In which trial(s) is the acetic acid the limiting reactant? (b) In which trial(s) is sodium bicarbonate the limiting reactant? (c) Explain your reasoning in parts (a) and (b).
