(a) Calculate K. (b) If enough iodine condenses to decrease its partial pressure to 0.10 atm, in which direction will the reaction proceed? What is the partial pressure of iodine when equilibrium is reestablished?arrow_forwardFor the following reactions, predict whether the pressure of the reactants or products increases or remains the same when the volume of the reaction vessel is increased.

- At a certain temperature, K=0.29 for the decomposition of two moles of iodine trichloride, ICl3(s), to chlorine and iodine gases. The partial pressure of chlorine gas at equilibrium is three times that of iodine gas. What are the partial pressures of iodine and chlorine at equilibrium?arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction at 1000 C: NO(g)+12 Cl2(g)NOCl(g) (a) Write an equilibrium constant expression for the reaction and call it K'. (b) Write an equilibrium constant expression for the decomposition of NOCl to produce one mole of chlorine gas. Call the constant K. (c) Relate K' and K.arrow_forwardA sample of gaseous nitrosyl bromide (NOBr) was placed in a container tiued with a frictionless, massless piston, where it decomposed at 25C according to the following equation: 2NOBr(g)2NO(g)+Br2(g) The initial density of the system was recorded as 4.495 g/L. After equilibrium was reached, the density was noted to be 4.086 g/L. a. Determine the value of the equilibrium constant K for the reaction. b. If Ar(g) is added to the system at equilibrium at constant temperature, what will happen to the equilibrium position? What happens to the value of K? Explain each answerarrow_forward
- Le Chteliers principle is stated (Section 12-7) as follows: If a change is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium will shift in a direction that tends to reduce that change. The systemN2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) is used as an example in which the addition of nitrogen gas at equilibrium results in a decrease in H2 concentration and an increase in NH3, concentration. In the experiment the volume is assumed to be constant. On the other hand, if N2 is added to the reaction system in a container with a piston so that the pressure can be held constant, the amount o f NH3 actually could decrease, and the concentration of H2 would increase as equilibrium is reestablished. Explain how this can happen. Also, if you consider this same system at equilibrium, the addition of an inert gas. holding the pressure constant, does affect the equilibrium position. Explain why the addition of an inert gas to this system in a rigid container does not affect the equilibrium position.arrow_forwardAt 1100 K, KP = 0.25 for the reaction 2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g) Calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of SO2, O2, and SO3 produced from an initial mixture in which PSO2=PO2=0.50atm and PSO3=0. (Hint: If you don t have a graphing calculator, then use the method of successive approximations to solve, as discussed in Appendix 1.4.)arrow_forwardBecause carbonic acid undergoes a second ionization, the student in Exercise 12.39 is concerned that the hydrogen ion concentration she calculated is not correct. She looks up the equilibrium constant for the reaction HCO,-(aq) «=* H+(aq) + COf'(aq) Upon finding that the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 4.8 X 10“H, she decides that her answer in Exercise 12.39 is correct. Explain her reasoning. A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H,CO,(aq) 5=6 H+(aq) + HCO,'(aq) K = 4.4 X 10'7She starts with 0.1000 A1 carbonic acid.
