At room temperature, the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction 2 NO(g) ⇌ N2(g) + O2(g) is 1.4 × 1030. Is this reaction product-favored or reactant-favored? Explain your answer. In the atmosphere at room temperature the concentration of N2 is 0.33 mol/L, and the concentration of O2 is about 25% of that value. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of NO in the atmosphere produced by the reaction of N2 and O2. How does this affect your answer to Question 11?

Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of each species. (b) The volume of the container is decreased to 4.5 L and the system allowed to return to equilibrium. Calculate the new equilibrium concentrations. (Hint: The calculation will be easier if you view this as a new problem with 0.5 mol of COBr2 transferred to a 4.5-L flask.) (c) What is the effect of decreasing the container volume from 9.50 L to 4.50 L?

Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes at elevated temperatures. PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) An equilibrium mixture at some temperature consists of 3.120 g of PCl5, 3.845 g of PCl3, and 1.787 g of Cl2 in a 10.0-L flask. If you add 1.418 g of Cl2, how will the equilibrium be affected? What will the concentrations of PCl5, PCl3, and Cl2 be when equilibrium is reestablished?

The equilibrium constant (Kc) for this reaction is 5.0 at a given temperature. CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g) (a) On analysis, an equilibrium mixture of the substances present at the given temperature was found to contain 0.20 mol of CO, 0.30 mol of water vapor, and 0.90 mol of H2 in a liter. How many moles of CO2 were there in the equilibrium mixture? (b) Maintaining the same temperature, additional H2 was added to the system, and some water vapor was removed by drying. A new equilibrium mixture was thereby established containing 0.40 mol of CO, 0.30 mol of water vapor, and 1.2 mol of H2 in a liter. How many moles of CO2 were in the new equilibrium mixture? Compare this with the quantity in part (a), and discuss whether the second value is reasonable. Explain how it is possible for the water vapor concentration to be the same in the two equilibrium solutions even though some vapor was removed before the second equilibrium was established.

The decomposition of NH4HS NH4HS(s) NH3(g) + H2S(g) is an endothermic process. Using Le Chateliers principle, explain how increasing the temperature would affect the equilibrium.

What will happen to the pressure of NH3 if some H2S is removed from the flask?
