The plot below shows three different projection scenarios for atmospheric CO2 concentration in the 21st century from the 2018 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report. The red line represents the RCP 8.5 projection, also known as the "business as usual" projection. This projection assumes that no effort is made to curtail emissions of CO2.

Consider the reaction: N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) where Kc = 0.500 at 400 °C. If 50.0 L reaction vessel contains 1.000 mole N₂; 3.000 mole H₂ and 0.050 mole NH3, which of the following is TRUE? The reaction based on the following parameters is in equilibrium. More ammonia will be produced as the reaction approaches equilibrium. Data provided is not enough to warrant a conclusion regarding equilibrium. More ammonia will dissociate as the reaction approaches equilibrium.

Suppose the reaction system UO2 (s) + 4 HF (g) ↔ UF4 (g) + 2H2O (g) has already reached equilibrium. Predict the effect that each of the following changes will have on the equilibrium position. Tell whether the equilibrium will shift to the right, shift to the left, or will not be affected. Additional UO2 (s) is added to the system. The reaction is performed in a glass reaction vessel; HF (g) attacks and reacts with glass. Water vapor (H2O (g)) is removed.
Consider the equilibrium system described by the chemical reaction below. A 1.00 L reaction vessel was filled with 2.00 mol SO2 and 2.00 mol NO2 and allowed to react at a high temperature. At equilibrium, there were 1.30 mol of NO in the vessel. Determine the concentrations of all reactants and products at equilibrium and then calculate the value of Kc for this reaction.

Water gas is a 1:1 mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas and is called water gas because it is formed from steam and hot carbon in the following reaction: H,0 (g) +C(s) =H,(g)+CO(g). Methanol, a liquid fuel that could possibly replace gasoline, can be prepared from water gas and hydrogen at high temperature and pressure in the presence of a suitable catalyst. What will happen to the concentrations of H,, CO, and CH,OH at equilibrium if more catalyst is added? (A Depends on the catalyst B Double Nothing D) Catalyst will be contaminated
(Q103) Consider the formation of phosphorus pentachloride from phosphorus trichloride and chlorine gas: PCI3 (g) + Cl2 (g) PCI5 (g) If the equilibrium constant at a certain temperature is K. = 1.36, what will the equilibrium %3D concentration of PCI5 (g) be if the initial concentrations of the two reactant gases was each 0.450 M and that of the product was 0.100 M? (Note - the value of Q for the initial concentrations is 0.494, which is just a little below the value of Keg - although the reaction will proceed toward products, the final concentration of PCI5 will not increase very much).

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 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?
