Chapter 6, Problem 6.8CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the equilibrium is attained by the system with respect to the Ar and H₂ concentration needs to be determined. If yes, then the partial pressure of each part of the system needs to be compared.

  

Concept Introduction:

A reversible chemical reaction can move in either forward or backward direction. The stage of a reversible reaction at which the rate of forward and backward reaction become equal to each other is called an equilibrium stage.

The equilibrium constant for a reaction is the ratio of the equilibrium concentration of the product and reactant. If the reaction is given in the gaseous state, then the equilibrium pressure must be considered.
