- 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?arrow_forwardWrite an equation for an equilibrium system that would lead to the following expressions (ac) for K. (a) K=(Pco)2 (PH2)5(PC2H6)(PH2O)2 (b) K=(PNH3)4 (PO2)5(PNO)4 (PH2O)6 (c) K=[ ClO3 ]2 [ Mn2+ ]2(Pcl2)[ MNO4 ]2 [ H+ ]4 ; liquid water is a productarrow_forwardWrite a balanced chemical equation for a totally gaseous equilibrium system that would lead to the following equilibrium constant expression.

KI3 is composed of the ions K+ and I3-.arrow_forwardWhen a mixture of hydrogen and bromine is maintained at normal atmospheric pressure and heated above 200. °C in a closed container, the hydrogen and bromine react to form hydrogen bromide and a gas-phase equilibrium is established. Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. Use bond enthalpies from Table 6.2 ( Sec. 6-6b) to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), which is more important in determining the position of this equilibrium, the entropy effect or the energy effect? In which direction will the equilibrium shift as the temperature increases above 200. °C? Explain. Suppose that the pressure were increased to triple its initial value. In which direction would the equilibrium shift? Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?arrow_forward
- The equilibrium constant Kc for the synthesis of methanol, CH3OH. CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g) is 4.3 at 250C and 1.8 at 275C. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardDuring an experiment with the Haber process, a researcher put 1 mol N2 and 1 mol H2 into a reaction vessel to observe the equilibrium formation of ammonia, NH3.

What effect will each of the following have on the equilibrium concentration of CO? (a) Pressure is increased, (b) volume of the reaction container is decreased, (c) heat is added, (d) the concentration of CO is increased, (e) some methanol is removed from the container, and (f) H2 is added.arrow_forwardFor the reactionH2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g), consider two possibilities: (a) you mix 0.5 mole of each reactant. allow the system to come to equilibrium, and then add another mole of H2 and allow the system to reach equilibrium again. or (b) you mix 1.5 moles of H2 and 0.5 mole of I2 and allow the system to reach equilibrium. Will the final equilibrium mixture be different for the two procedures? Explain.arrow_forwardDistinguish between the terms equilibrium constant and reaction quotient. When Q = K, what does this say about a reaction? When Q K, what does this say about a reaction? When Q K. what does this say about a reaction?arrow_forward
