Chapter 15, Problem 15.129SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The change in concentration of ${\text{CaCO}}_3$ due to increasing temperature needs to be determined using the Le Chatelier’s principle.

Concept introduction:

A chemical reaction is said to be in equilibrium if there is no further change in its concentration takes place with time. The equilibrium constant is defined as ratio of equilibrium concentration/molarity of product to reactant reaction raised to the power of the respective stochiometric coefficient in the equilibrium reaction.

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, the shift in equilibrium takes place due to change in pressure, concentration and temperature of the system. If chemical equilibrium of a system is disturbed, the equilibrium will shift to the direction that opposes the disturbance.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The changes in concentration of ${\text{CaCO}}_3$ due to addition of calcium oxide needs to be explained using the Le Chatelier’s principle.

Concept introduction:

A chemical reaction is said to be in equilibrium if there is no further change in its concentration takes place with time. The equilibrium constant is defined as ratio of equilibrium concentration/molarity of product to reactant reaction raised to the power of the respective stochiometric coefficient in the equilibrium reaction.

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, the shift in equilibrium takes place due to change in pressure, concentration and temperature of the system. If chemical equilibrium of a system is disturbed, the equilibrium will shift to the direction that opposes the disturbance.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The changes in concentration of ${\text{CaCO}}_3$ due to removal of Methane. Use Le Chatelier principle.
