(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the reaction is at equilibrium should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When two or more compounds react together they produce some compound after the reaction. This reaction may be one way or reversible. Any
(b)
Interpretation:
The direction of given reaction to reach at equilibrium should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When two or more compounds react together they produce some compound after the reaction. This reaction may be one way or reversible. Any chemical reaction has reaction rate, activation energy like properties and some influences like catalyst, concentration, nature of reactants, temperature during its progress. At dynamic equilibrium, chemical reaction reaches to such a level where no change occurs in the concentration of reactants and products.

- 7-40 Is there any change in conditions that change the equilibrium constant, K, of a given reaction?arrow_forward7-32 A particular reaction has an equilibrium constant of 1.13 under one set of conditions and an equilibrium constant of 1.72 under a different set of conditions. Which conditions would be more advantageous in an industrial process that sought to obtain the maximum amount of products? Explain.arrow_forwardSuppose a reaction has the equilibrium constant K = 1.3 108. What does the magnitude of this constant tell you about the relative concentrations of products and reactants that will be present once equilibrium is reached? Is this reaction likely to be a good source of the products?arrow_forward
- 7-64 As we shall see in Chapter 20, there are two forms of glucose, designated alpha and betawhich are in equilibrium in aqueous solution. The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.5 at 30°C. (a) If you begin with a fresh 1.0 M solution of D-glucose in water, what will be its concentration when equilibrium is reached? (b) Calculate the percentage of glucose and of glucose present at equilibrium in aqueous solution at 30°C.arrow_forwardWrite the equilibrium constant expression for each reaction in terms of activities, simplifying where appropriate. a C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) b P4(s)+5O2(g)P4O10(s) c 2HNO2(g)+3Cl2(g)2NCl3(g)+H2(g)+2O2(g)arrow_forwardAt 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_forward

The equilibrium constant, Kc, is 0.60 for PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) Calculate the concentrations of all species after equilibrium has been reached.arrow_forwardCyclohexane, C6H12, a hydrocarbon, can isomerize or change into methylcyclopentane, a compound of the same formula (C5H9CH3) but with a different molecular structure. sssss The equilibrium constant has been estimated to be 0.12 at 25 C. If you had originally placed 0.045 mol of cyclohexane in a 2.8-L flask, what would be the concentrations of cyclohexane and methylcyclopentane when equilibrium is established?arrow_forwardFor the system SO3(g)SO2(g)+12 O2(g)at 1000 K, K=0.45. Sulfur trioxide, originally at 1.00 atm pressure, partially dissociates to SO2 and O2 at 1000 K. What is its partial pressure at equilibrium?arrow_forward

The reaction is N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) What is the composition of the equilibrium mixture if you obtain 0.048 mol of ammonia, NH3, from it?arrow_forwardConsider the following reactions at some temperature: 2NOCl(g)2NO(g)+Cl2(g)K=1.6105 2NO(g)N2(g)+O2(g)K=11031 For each reaction, assume some quantities of the reactants were placed in separate containers and allowed to come to equilibrium. Describe the relative amounts of reactants and products that would be present at equilibrium. At equilibrium, which is faster, the forward or reverse reaction in each case?arrow_forwardBecause calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid.
