- Titanium(IV) oxide is converted to titanium carbide with carbon at a high temperature. TiO2(s) + 3 C(s) 2 CO(g) + TiC(s) (a) Calculate rG and K at 727 C. (b) Is the reaction product-favored at equilibrium at this temperature? (c) How can the reactant or product concentrations be adjusted for the reaction to proceed at 727 C?arrow_forwardThe standard equilibrium constant is 2.1109for this reaction at 25 C Zn2+(aq)+4NH3(aq)Zn(NH3)42+(aq) (a) Calculate rG at this temperature. (b) If standard-state concentrations of the reactants andproducts are combined, in which direction will the reaction proceed? (c) Calculate rG when [Zn(NH3)42+] = 0.010 M, [Zn2+] =0.0010 M, and [NH3] = 3.5104M.arrow_forwardConsider the reaction 2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g) (a) Calculate G at 25C. (b) If the partial pressures of SO2 and SO3 are kept at 0.400 atm, what partial pressure should O2 have so that the reaction just becomes nonspontaneous (i.e., G=+1.0 k J)?arrow_forward
- a. Using the free energy profile for a simple one-step reaction, show that at equilibrium K = kf/kr, where kf and kr, are the rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions. Hint: Use the relationship G = RT ln(K) and represent kf and kr, using the Arrhenius equation.(K=AeEa/RT) b. Why is the following statement false? A catalyst can increase the rate of a forward reaction but not the rote of the reverse reaction.arrow_forwardElemental boron, in the form of thin fibers, can be made by reducing a boron halide with H2. BCl3(g) + 32 H2(g) B(s) + 3 HCl(g) Calculate rH, rS, and rG at 25 C for this reaction. Is the reaction predicted to be product-favored at equilibrium at 25 C? If so, is it enthalpy- or entropy-driven? [S for B(s) is 5.86 J/K mol.]arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide decomposes into CO and O2 at elevated temperatures. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of oxygen in a sample at 1000 C for which the initial pressure of CO2 was 1.15 atm?arrow_forward
- What is the approximate value of the equilibrium constant KP for the change C2H5OC2H5(l)C2H5OC2H5(g) at 25 C. {Vapor pressure was described in the previous Chapter on liquids and solids; refer back to this chapter to find the relevant information needed to solve this problem.)arrow_forwardCobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate, CoCl26H2O, is a bright pink compound, but in the presence of very dry air it loses water vapor to the air to produce the light blue anhydrous salt CoCl2. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the reaction at 25C: CoCl26H2O(s)CoCl2(s)+6H2O(g) Here are some thermodynamic data at 25C: What is the partial pressure of water vapor in equilibrium with the anhydrous salt and the hexahydrate at 25C? (Give the value in mmHg.) What is the relative humidity of air that has this partial pressure of water? The relative humidity of a sample of air is Relativehumidity=partialpressureofH2O(g)inairvaporpressureofwater100 What do you expect to happen to the equilibrium partial pressure over the hexahydrate as the temperature is raised? Explain.arrow_forwardDistinguish between the terms equilibrium constant and reaction quotient. When Q = K, what does this say about a reaction? When Q K, what does this say about a reaction? When Q K. what does this say about a reaction?arrow_forward
- Consider the following relationships: G = 1, H = TS, Q = 1. G = G, K = 1 Which of these relationships is(are) always true for a reaction at equilibrium?arrow_forwardThe standard free energies of formation and the standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K for difluoroacetylene (C2F2) and hexafluorobenzene (C6F6) are Gfo(KJ/mol) Hfo(KJ/mol) C2F2(g) 191.2 241.3 Hexane 78.2 132.8 For the following reaction: C6F6(g)3C2F2(g) a. calculate S at 298 K. b. calculate K at 298 K. c. estimate K at 3000. K, assuming H and S do not depend on temperature.arrow_forwardAdenosine triphosphate, ATP, is used as a free-energy source by biological cells. (See the essay on page 624.) ATP hydrolyzes in the presence of enzymes to give ADP: ATP(aq)+H2O(l)ADP(aq)+H2PO4(aq);G=30.5kJ/molat25C Consider a hypothetical biochemical reaction of molecule A to give molecule B: A(aq)B(aq);G=+15.0kJ/molat25C Calculate the ratio [B]/[A] at 25C at equilibrium. Now consider this reaction coupled to the reaction for the hydrolysis of ATP: A(aq)+ATP(aq)+H2O(l)B(aq)+ADP(aq)+H2PO4(aq) If a cell maintains a high ratio of ATP to ADP and H2PO4 by continuously making ATP, the conversion of A to B can be made highly spontaneous. A characteristic value of this ratio is [ATP][ADP][H2PO4]=500 Calculate the ratio [B][A] in this case and compare it with the uncoupled reaction. Compared with the uncoupled reaction, how much larger is this ratio when coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP?arrow_forward
