Chapter 15, Problem 15.6VP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The value of equilibrium constant $K_{\text{c}}$ in chamber $1$ in the given Figure.

Interpretation: The value of equilibrium constant $K_{\text{c}}$ in chamber $1$ in the given Figure is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant $K_{\text{c}}$ relates the concentration of chemical substances involved in a chemical reaction at the time of equilibrium depends on the temperature of chemical reaction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The value of equilibrium constant $K_{\text{c}}$ in chamber $2$ in the given Figure.

Interpretation: The value of equilibrium constant $K_{\text{c}}$ in chamber $2$ in the given Figure is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant $K_{\text{c}}$ relates the concentration of chemical substances involved in a chemical reaction at the time of equilibrium depends on the temperature of chemical reaction.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: An explanation corresponding to the fact that the number of moles of each gas in the chamber changes in response to the change in conditions in the given Figure.

Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that the number of moles of each gas in the chamber changes in response to the change in conditions in the given Figure is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The number of molecules per unit volume is increased, when the volume is decreased. The equilibrium will shift in that direction where the number of moles is decreasing. Hence, the rate of forward reaction is increased.
