Chapter 15, Problem 104E
Consider the simple one-step reaction:
Since the reaction occurs in a single step, the forward reaction has a rate of kfor[A] and the reverse reaction has a rate of krev[B]. What happens to the rate of the forward reaction when we increase the concentration of A? How does this explain the reason behind Le Chătelier’s principle?

- Methanol, a common laboratory solvent, poses a threat of blindness or death if consumed in sufficient amounts. Once in the body, the substance is oxidized to produce formaldehyde (embalming fluid) and eventually formic acid. Both of these substances are also toxic in varying levels. The equilibrium between methanol and formaldehyde can be described as follows: CH3OH(aq)H2CO(aq)+H2(aq) Assuming the value of K for this reaction is 3.7 1010, what are the equilibrium concentrations of each species if you start with a 1.24 M solution of methanol? What will happen to the concentration of methanol as the formaldehyde is further converted to formic acid?arrow_forward. Many sugars undergo a process called mutarotation, in which the sugar molecules interconvert between two isomeric forms, finally reaching an equilibrium between them.
