(a) K=(Pco)2 (PH2)5(PC2H6)(PH2O)2 (b) K=(PNH3)4 (PO2)5(PNO)4 (PH2O)6 (c) K=[ ClO3 ]2 [ Mn2+ ]2(Pcl2)[ MNO4 ]2 [ H+ ]4 ; liquid water is a productarrow_forwardCalculate the equilibrium concentrations that result when 0.25 M O2 and 1.0 M HCl react and come to equilibrium. 4HCl(g)+O2(g)2Cl2+2H2O(g)Kc=3.11013arrow_forwardThe value of the equilibrium constant, K, is dependent on which of the following? (There may be more than one answer.) a. the initial concentrations of the reactants b. the initial concentrations of the products c. the temperature of the system d. the nature of the reactants and products Explain.arrow_forward
- Consider the system 4NH3(g)+3O2(g)2N2(g)+6H2O(l)H=1530.4kJ (a) How will the concentration of ammonia at equilibrium be affected by (1) removing O2(g)? (2) adding N2(g)? (3) adding water? (4) expanding the container? (5) increasing the temperature? (b) Which of the above factors will increase the value of K? Which will decrease it?arrow_forwardWhat is the law of mass action? Is it true that the value of K depends on the amounts of reactants and products mixed together initially? Explain. Is it true that reactions with large equilibrium constant values are very fast? Explain. There is only one value of the equilibrium constant for a particular system at a particular temperature, but there is an infinite number of equilibrium positions. Explain.arrow_forwardWrite a chemical equation for an equilibrium system that would lead to the following expressions (ad) for K.

- The creation of shells by mollusk species is a fascinating process. By utilizing the Ca2+ in their food and aqueous environment, as well as some complex equilibrium processes, a hard calcium carbonate shell can be produced. One important equilibrium reaction in this complex process is HCO3(aq)H+(aq)+CO32(aq)K=5.61011 If 0.16 mole of HCO3 is placed into 1.00 L of solution, what will be the equilibrium concentration of CO32?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_forwardThe chapter opening photograph (page 670) showed how the cobalt(II) chloride equilibrium responded to temperature changes. (a) Look back at that photograph. Is the conversion of the red cation to the blue anion exothermic or endothermic? (b) If hydrochloric acid is added to the violet mixture of cobalt(II) ions shown below, the blue CoCl42 ion is favored. If water is then added to the mixture, a red solution favoring [Co(H2O)]2+ results. Explain these observations in terms of Le Chateliers principle. (c) How do these observations prove the reaction is reversible?arrow_forward
