Consider a cylinder containing a mixture of liquid carbon dioxide in equilibrium with gaseous carbon dioxide at an initial pressure of 65 atm and a temperature of 20 C. Sketch a plot depicting the change in the cylinder pressure with time as gaseous carbon dioxide is released at constant temperature.
Explain why the development of a vapor pressure above a liquid in a closed container represents an equilibrium. What are the opposing processes? How do we recognize when the system has reached a state of equilibrium?
A 4.72-g sample of methanol (CH3OH) was placed in an otherwise empty 1.00-L flask and heated to 250.C to vaporize the methanol. Over time, the methanol vapor decomposed by the following reaction: CH3OH(g)CO(g)+2H2(g) After the system has reached equilibrium, a tiny hole is drilled in the side of the flask allowing gaseous compounds to effuse out of the flask. Measurements of the effusing gas show that it contains 33.0 times as much H2(g) as CH3OH(g). Calculate K for this reaction at 250.C.

A gaseous material XY(g) dissociates to some extent to produce X(g) and Y(g): XY(g)X(g)+Y(g) A 2.00-g sample of XY (molar mass = 165 g/mol) is placed in a container with a movable piston at 25C. The pressure is held constant at 0.967 atm. As XY begins to dissociate, the piston moves until 35.0 mole percent of the original XY has dissociated and then remains at a constant position. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the density of the gas in the container after the piston has stopped moving, and determine the value of K for this reaction of 25C.
In the laboratory, hydrogen chloride (HCl(g)) and ammonia (NH3(g)) often escape from bottles of their solutions and react to form the ammonium chloride (NH4Cl(s)), the white glaze often seen on glassware. Assuming that the number of moles of each gas that escapes into the room is the same, what is the maximum partial pressure of HCl and NH3 in the laboratory at room temperature? (Hint: The partial pressures will be equal and are at their maximum value when at equilibrium.)
12.102 A chemical engineer is working to optimize the production of acrylonitrile to be used in the manufacture of carbon fibers. The reaction being used is the combination of propene gas, ammonia, and oxygen. The reaction is normally carried out at moderately high temperatures so all species are in the gas phase. (a) Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction. (b) The boiling point of acrylonitrile is 77 °C, and that of propene is -48 °C. What would the equilibrium expression be if this reaction were carried out at room temperature? (c) What characteristic of this reaction might cause the engineer to desire carrying out this reaction at room temperature?
Maple syrup sap is 3% sugar (sucrose) and 97% water bymass. Maple syrup is produced by heating the sap toevaporate a certain amount of the water. (a) Describe what happens to the composition and boilingpoint of the solution as evaporation takes place. (b) A rule of thumb among maple syrup producers is thatthe finished syrup should boil about 4 C higher than theoriginal sap being boiled. Explain the chemistry behindthis guideline. (c) If the finished product boils 4 C higher than the originalsap, calculate the concentration of sugar in the finalproduct. Assume that sugar is the only solute and theoperation is done at 1 atm pressure.
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?

A chemist wants to prepare phosgene, COCl2, by the following reaction: CO(g)+Cl2(g)COCl2(g) He places 4.00 g of chlorine, Cl2, and an equal molar amount of carbon monoxide, CO, into a 10.00-L reaction vessel at 395C.
