The value of equilibrium constant
Concept Introduction:
In an equilibrium constant expression, the powers of the chemical species help in predicting the

Concept Introduction:
To predict whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic, find out the change in enthalpy of the reaction which is obtained by subtracting the activation energy of the backward reaction from the forward reaction. If the enthalpy change is positive, it is an endothermic reaction and if it is negative then it is an exothermic reaction
(c)
Interpretation:
The effect of raising the temperature on the rate constants and equilibrium constant of the reaction has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
A reaction is said to be in equilibrium if the rate at which the forward reaction takes place becomes equal to the rate at which the backward reaction takes place. If any of the factors that affect the equilibrium changes, then the reaction shifts in either forward or backward direction so that the equilibrium condition is reestablished.

- At 1 atm and 25 C, NO2 with an initial concentration of 1.00 M is 3.3103 decomposed into NO and O2.

- Silicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven?
