Carbon tetrachloride can be produced by the following reaction: CS2(g)+3 Cl2 (g)S, Cla (s) +CCL, (g) Suppose 1.20 mol of CS2 and 3.60 mol of Cl2 were placed in a 1.00-L flask at an unknown temperature. After equilibrium has been achieved, the mixture contains 0.61 mol of CC14. Calculate Kc at the unknown temperature.
Consider the reaction: 2 H2S (g) ⇋ 2 H2 (g) + S2 (g) Kp = 2.4 x 10 -4 at 1073 K If the initial pressure of hydrogen sulfide is 755 torr, what will be the equilibrium partial pressure of each gas?
In a particular experiment 1.0 mole of H2O (g) and 1.0 mole of CO (g) are put into a flask and heated to 350 oC. In another experiment 1.0 mol of H2 (g) and 1.0 mole of CO2 (g) are put into a different flask with the same volume as the first. This mixture is also heated to 350 oC. After equilibrium is reached, will there be any difference in the composition of the mixture in the two flasks?
Heating HI(g) at 425 °C causes some of this compound to decompose, forming H2 (g) and I2 (g). Eventually, the amounts of the three species do not change further, the system has reached equilibrium. (At this point, approximately 22% of the HI has decomposed.) What is happening in this system at the molecular level? O H2(g) reacts with I2 (g) to produce HI(g) at the same rate as it decomposes. H2 (g) and I2 (g) molecules collide with HI(g) making the reaction stop. Only part of the HI(g) molecules has enough energy to decompose at this temperature. 5:55 PM FLV 2/22/2020 Type here to search hp ins prt sc delete home f12 f8 f9 f10 f5 f6 f7 14 10 num & backspace lock 23 8. 3 %24
A chemical engineer is studying the following reaction: H2(9)+Cl2(g) → 2 HCl(g) At the temperature the engineer picks, the equilibrium constant K, for this reaction is 1.1. The engineer charges ("fills") three reaction vessels with hydrogen and chlorine, and lets the reaction begin. He then measures the inside each vessel from time to time. His first set of measurements are shown in the table below. Predict the changes in the compositions the engineer should expect next time he measures the compositions. reaction vessel compound pressure expected change in pressure H, 2.75 atm t increase I decrease (no change) Cl, 4.00 atm t increase O I decrease O (no change) A HCI 2.10 atm O f increase OI decrease O (no change) H, 2.78 atm t increase I decrease O (no change) Cl, 4.03 atm t increase I decrease (no change) 2.06 atm t increase I decrease (no change) HCl H2 3.22 atm O f increase I decrease (no change) t increase I decrease (no change) Cl, 4.98 atm OI decrease O (no change) H CI 4.26 atm…

B)The amount of CO2 (g) would increase but not double. C)The amount of CO2 (g) would not change. D)The equilibrium amount of CO2 (s) would be less.
Consider the following equilibrium: 2NO(g) + Cl₂ (g) 2NOCI (g) AG=-41. kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 1.55 atm of chlorine (C1₂). about this system: T Under these conditions, will the pressure of NOCI tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO? In other words, if you said the pressure of NOC1 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding NO? Similarly, if said the pressure of NOCI will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding NO? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. and 4.77 atm of nitrosyl chloride (NOCI) at 683. °C. Answer the following questions Orise Ofall yes Ono atm O x10 X S
Consider the following equilibrium: 2NO₂(g) → N₂O4 (g) AG = -5.4 kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 0.202 atm of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) at 504. °C. A Under these conditions, will the pressure of NO₂ tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding N₂O4? In other words, if you said the pressure of NO₂ will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding N₂O4? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NO₂ will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding N₂O4? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of N₂O needed to reverse it. V Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Orise fall O yes no atm 0
