- In Section 13.1 of your text, it is mentioned that equilibrium is reached in a closed system. What is meant by the term closed system. and why is it necessary to have a closed system in order for a system to reach equilibrium? Explain why equilibrium is not reached in an open system.arrow_forwardExplain that equilibrium is dynamic, and that at equilibrium the forward and backward reaction rates are equal.arrow_forwardDecomposition of ammonium dichromate is shown in the designated series of photos. In a closed container this process reaches an equilibrium state. Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. How is the equilibrium affected if more ammonium dichromate is added to the equilibrium system? more water vapor is added? more chromium(III) oxide is added? Decomposition of ammonium dichromate, for Question 4. Decomposition of (NH4)2Cr2O7. Orange, solid (NH4)2Cr2O7 (a) can be ignited by lighting a wick (b), which initiates decomposition (c) forming Cr2O3, the dark green solid in part (d), N2 gas, and water vapor. Energy is transferred to the surroundings by the process.arrow_forward
- Consider the following equilibrium constants. Describe how you would expect the equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products to compare with each other larger than, smaller than, etc. for each case. a. K=2.1106 b. K=0.15 c. K=1.2108 d. K=0.00036arrow_forwardEqual amounts of two gases, A and B3, are placed in an evacuated container and react to form AB and B2. A(g)+B3(g)AB(g)+B2(g) The molecular scale diagram represents the relative amounts of each substance present once equilibrium is reached. Which of the following graphs best describes the progress of the reaction as it proceeds to equilibrium? Explain why the graph you chose must be the correct one.arrow_forwardChemical 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? If it is not at equilibrium, what could you add to or remove from the container that would give an equilibrium system? h Consider an individual OH(aq) ion in an Mg(OH)2 solution at equilibrium. If you could follow this ion over a long period of time, would you expect it always to remain as an OH(aq) ion, or could it change in some way?arrow_forward

Increasing the concentration of C6H6 b. Decreasing the temperature c. Increasing the pressure by decreasing the volume of the containerarrow_forwardConsider an equilibrium mixture of four chemicals (A. B. C. and D. all gases) reacting in a closed flask according to the following equation: A+BC+Da. You add more A to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is re-established? Justify your answer. h. You have the original set-up at equilibrium, and add more D to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is re-established? Justify your answer.arrow_forward12.100 A reaction important in smog formation is O3(g)+NO(g)O2(g)+NO2(g)K=6.01034 (a) If the initial concentrations are [O3]=1.0106M,[NO]=1.0105M,[NO2]=2.5104M, and [O2]=8.2103M , is the system at equilibrium? If not, in which direction does the reaction proceed? (b) If the temperature is increased, as on a very warm day, will the concentrations of the products increase or decrease? (HINT: You may have to calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction to find out if it is exothermic or endothermic.)arrow_forward
- The equilibrium constant expression for a given reaction depends on how the equilibrium equation is written. Explain the meaning of that statement. You may, if you wish, use the equilibrium equation N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) to illustrate your explanation.arrow_forward. For the reaction 3O2(g)2O3(g)The equilibrium constant, K, has the value 1.121054at a particular temperature. a. What does the very small equilibrium constant indicate about the extent to which oxygen gas, O2(g), is converted to ozone gas, O3(g), at this temperature? b. If the equilibrium mixture is analyzed and [O2(g)]is found to be 3.04102M, what is the concentration of O3(g) in the mixture’?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.
