Consider a chemical reaction represented by the equation A ( g ) + B ( g ) ⇄ C ( g ) , for which the value of K c is 100. If we multiply the chemical equation by two, 2A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⇄ 2 C ( g ) , the value of K c becomes 10,000. Does the larger equilibrium constant indicate that more product [C( g )] will form, given the same starting conditions? Explain.

Chapter 15.3, Problem 4PPC

Consider a chemical reaction represented by the equation A ( g ) + B ( g ) ⇄ C ( g ) , for which the value of K_c is 100. If we multiply the chemical equation by two, 2A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⇄ 2 C ( g ) , the value of K_c becomes 10,000. Does the larger equilibrium constant indicate that more product [C(g)] will form, given the same starting conditions? Explain.

Students have asked these similar questions

Calculate the free energy of formation of 1 mol of Cu in cells where the electrolyte is 1 mol dm-3 Cu2+ in sulfate solution, pH 0. E° for the Cu2+/Cu pair in this medium is +142 mV versus ENH.Assume the anodic reaction is oxygen evolution.Data: EH2 = -0.059 pH (V) and EO2 = 1.230 - 0.059 pH (V); 2.3RT/F = 0.059 V

If the normal potential for the Fe(III)/Fe(II) pair in acid at zero pH is 524 mV Hg/Hg2Cl2 . The potential of the saturated calomel reference electrode is +246 mV versus the NHE. Calculate E0 vs NHE.

Given the galvanic cell whose scheme is: (-) Zn/Zn2+ ⋮⋮ Ag+/Ag (+). If we know the normal potentials E°(Zn2+/Zn) = -0.76V and E°(Ag+/Ag) = 0.799 V. Indicate the electrodes that are the anode and the cathode and calculate the E0battery.
