Chapter 13, Problem 2RQ
What is the law of mass action? Is it true that the value of K depends on the amounts of reactants and products mixed together initially? Explain. Is it true that reactions with large equilibrium constant values are very fast? Explain. There is only one value of the equilibrium constant for a particular system at a particular temperature, but there is an infinite number of equilibrium positions. Explain.

- Chemical Equilibrium II Magnesium hydroxide. Mg(OH)2, is a white, partially soluble solid that is used in many antacids. The chemical equation for the dissolving of Mg(OH)2(s) in water is Mg(OH)2(s)Mg2+(aq)+2OH(aq) a Describe a simple experimental procedure that you could use to study this solubility equilibrium. In your experiment, how would you determine when the solution process has attained equilibrium? b Write the equilibrium-constant expression for this dissolving of magnesium hydroxide. c Suppose equilibrium has been established in a container of magnesium hydroxide in water, and you decide to add more solid Mg(OH)2. What would you expect to observe? What effect will this addition of Mg(OH)2 have on the concentrations of Mg2+(aq) and OH(aq)? d Say you haw prepared an equilibrium solution of Mg(OH)2 by adding pure solid Mg(OH)2 to water. If you know the concentration of OH(aq), can you determine the concentration of Mg2+(aq)? If not, what information do you need that will allow you to determine the answer? e You slowly add OH from another source (say, NaOH) to an equilibrium mixture of Mg(OH)2 and water. How do you expect the concentration of the Mg2+(aq) to change? What might you be able to observe happening to the Mg(OH)2(s) as you add the OH? f Next you remove some, but not all, of the Mg(OH)2(s) from the mixture. How will this affect the concentrations of the Mg2+(aq) and OH(aq)? g If someone hands you a container of Mg(OH)2(aq) and there is no solid Mg(OH)2 present, is this solution at equilibrium?

- . 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?arrow_forwardConsider the following reactions: H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g)andH2(g)+I2(s)2HI(g) List two property differences between these two reactions that relate to equilibrium.arrow_forward.
