Chapter 7, Problem 7.91QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Position of equilibrium has to be predicted for the given reaction if the temperature is increased.

    ${\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}(g)+{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons {\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{Cl}(g)+HCl(g)+26.4kcal$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Position of equilibrium has to be predicted for the given reaction if the pressure in increased by decrease of volume.

    ${\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}(g)+{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons {\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{Cl}(g)+HCl(g)+26.4kcal$

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Position of equilibrium has to be predicted for the given reaction if a catalyst is added.

    ${\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}(g)+{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons {\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{Cl}(g)+HCl(g)+26.4kcal$
