- You have a large balloon containing 1.0 mol of gaseous water vapor at 80 C. How will each step affect the internal energy of the system? (a) The temperature of the system is raised to 90 C. (b) The vapor is condensed to a liquid, at 40 C.arrow_forward. Consider the exothermic reaction CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(l)Predict three changes that could be made to the system that would decrease the yield of product over that produced by a system in which no change was made.arrow_forwardDraw an energy diagram graph for an endothermic reaction where no catalyst is present. Then draw an energy diagram graph for the same reaction when a catalyst is present. Indicate the similarities and differences between the two diagrams.arrow_forward
- The internal energy of a system is said to be the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles in the system. Section 10. 1 discusses potential energy and kinetic energy in terms of a ball on a hill. Explain potential energy and kinetic energy for a chemical reaction.arrow_forwardSketch an energy diagram graph representing an exothermic reaction, and label the following. a. Average energy of reactants b. Average energy of products c. Activation energy d. Amount of energy liberated during the reactionarrow_forwardDefine the terms product-favored System and reactant-favored System. Give one example of each.arrow_forward
- Hydrogen sulfide is a pollutant found in natural gas. Following its removal, it is convened to sulfur by the reaction 2H2S(g)+SO2(g)38S8(s,rhombic)+2H2O(l). What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction? Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardWhen writing an equation, how is a reversible reaction distinguished from a nonreversible reaction?arrow_forward6. Consider the following four energy diagrams: A B Potential energy Potential energy Reaction Reaction coordinate coordinate C D Potential energy Potential energy Reaction coordinate Reaction coordinate Which diagrams correspond with a two-step mechanism? Which diagrams correspond with a one-step mechanism? Compare energy diagrams A and C. Which has a relatively larger Ea? Compare diagrams A and C. Which has a negative AG? Compare diagrams A and D.
