Chapter 6.6, Problem 6.24P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given reaction is an exothermic reaction.

  $4{\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}+3{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\underset{}{\rightleftarrows }2{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}+{\text{6H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

The statement, " The equilibrium will shift to right on increasing temperature" is to be determined to be whether true or false.

Concept Introduction:

In every reaction, the reactants must be equal to the products. If not so, then the equilibrium will move in a certain direction so as to balance the reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The given reaction is an exothermic reaction.

  $4{\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}+3{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\underset{}{\rightleftarrows }2{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}+{\text{6H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

The statement, "When the concentration $N_2$ is doubled, the equilibrium moves to left" is to be determined to be whether true or false.

Concept Introduction:

In every reaction, the reactants must be equal to the products. If not so, then the equilibrium will move in a certain direction so as to balance the reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The given reaction is an exothermic reaction.

  $4{\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}+3{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\underset{}{\rightleftarrows }2{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}+{\text{6H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

The statement, "With the addition of inert gases like helium and increasing the pressure, there will be no change in the direction of equilibrium" is to be determined to be whether true or false.

Concept Introduction:

In every reaction, the reactants must be equal to the products. If not so, then the equilibrium will move in a certain direction so as to balance the reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The given reaction is an exothermic reaction.

  $4N{H}_3+3O_2\underset{}{\rightleftarrows }2N_2+6H_{2}O$

The statement, "With the removal of $H_{2}O$, the reaction will move to the right" is to be determined whether true or false.

Concept Introduction:

In every reaction, the reactants must be equal to the products. If not so, then the equilibrium will move in a certain direction so as to balance the reaction.
