- Hydrogen gas and iodine gas react to form hydrogen iodide. If 0.500 mol H2 and 1.00 mol I2 are placed in a closed 10.0-L vessel, what is the mole fraction of HI in the mixture when equilibrium is reached at 205C? Use data from Appendix C and any reasonable approximations to obtain K.arrow_forwardUse data given in Tables 6.2 and 18.1 to obtain the value of Kp at 1000C for the reaction C(graphite)+CO2(g)2CO(g) Carbon monoxide is known to form during combustion of carbon at high temperatures. Do the data agree with this? Explain.arrow_forwardPredict whether each of the following processes results in an increase in entropy in the system. (Define reactants and products as the system.) (a) Water vapor condenses to liquid water at 90 C and 1 atm pressure. (b) The exothermic reaction of Na(s) and Cl2(g) forms NaCl(s). (c) The endothermic reaction of H2 and I2 produces an equilibrium mixture of H2(g), I2(g), and HI(g). (d) Solid NaCl dissolves in water forming a saturated solution.arrow_forward
- Distinguish 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_forwardExplain how the entropy of the universe increases when an aluminum metal can is made from aluminum ore. Thefirst step is to extract the ore, which is primarily a formof A12O3, from the ground. After it is purified by freeingit from oxides of silicon and iron, aluminum oxide ischanged to the metal by an input of electrical energy. 2Al2O3(s)electricalenergy4Al(s)+3O2(g)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

(c) Is the reaction predicted to be product-favored at equilibrium at 25 C? If not, at what temperature will it become so?arrow_forwardThe standard free energy change, rG, for the formation of NO(g) from its elements is + 86.58 kJ/mol-rxn at 25 C.

- 12.108 A nuclear engineer is considering the effect of discharging waste heat from a power plant into a lake and estimates that this may warm the water locally to 25 °C. One question to be considered is the effect of this temperature change on the uptake of CO2 by the water. The equilibrium constant for the reaction CO2+H2OH2CO3 ; is K=1.7103 at 25 °C. Because bonds form, the reaction is exothermic. (a) Will this reaction progress further toward products at higher temperatures near the water discharge with its warmer water than it would in the cooler lake water? Explain your reasoning. (b) Carbonic acid has a Kaof 2.5104 at 25 °C. What is the equilibrium constant for the CO2+2H2OHCO3+H3O+? (c) What additional factor should the engineer be considering about CO2 gas, probably before considering this reaction chemistry?arrow_forwardA process that is reactant-favored at equilibrium can never be spontaneous. This statement is (a) true (b) falsearrow_forwardIf wet silver carbonate is dried in a stream of hot air. the air must have a certain concentration level of carbon dioxide to prevent silver carbonate from decomposing by the reaction Ag2CO3(s)Ag2O(s)+CO2(g) H for this reaction is 79.14 kJ/mol in the temperature range of 25 to 125C. Given that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in equilibrium with pure solid silver carbonate is 6.23 103 torr at 25C, calculate the partial pressure of CO2 necessary to prevent decomposition ofAg2CO3 at 110C.
