For a typical equilibrium problem, the value of K and the initial reaction conditions are given for a specific reaction, and you are asked to calculate the equilibrium concentrations. Many of these calculations involve solving a quadratic or cubic equation. What can you do to avoid solving a quadratic or cubic equation and still come up with reasonable equilibrium concentrations?
The following equilibrium is established in a closed container: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)H=393kJmol1 How does the equilibrium shift in response to each of the following stresses? (a) The quantity of solid carbon is increased. (b) A small quantity of water is added, and CO2 dissolves in it. (c) The system is cooled. (d) The volume of the container is increased.
Consider an equilibrium mixture of four chemicals (A, B, C, and D, all gases) reacting in a closed flask according to the equation: A(g)+B(g)C(g)+D(g) a. You add more A to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is reestablished? Justify your answer. b. You have the original setup at equilibrium, and you add more D to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is reestablished? Justify your answer.

12.100 A reaction important in smog formation is O3(g)+NO(g)O2(g)+NO2(g)K=6.01034 (a) If the initial concentrations are [O3]=1.0106M,[NO]=1.0105M,[NO2]=2.5104M, and [O2]=8.2103M , is the system at equilibrium? If not, in which direction does the reaction proceed? (b) If the temperature is increased, as on a very warm day, will the concentrations of the products increase or decrease? (HINT: You may have to calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction to find out if it is exothermic or endothermic.)
12.85 In the figure, orange fish are placed in one aquarium and green fish in an adjoining aquarium. The two tanks are separated by a removable partition that is initially closed. Describe what happens in the first few minutes after the partition is opened. WTiat would you expect to see several hours later? How is this system analogous to dynamic chemical equilibrium?
A common type of reaction we will study is that having a very small K value (K 1). Solving for equilibrium concentrations in an equilibrium problem usually requires many mathematical operations to be perfomed. However, the math involved when solving equilibrium problems for reactions having small K values (K 1) is simplified. What assumption is made when solving the equilibrium concentrations for reactions with small K values? Whenever assumptions are made, they must be checked for validity. In general, the 5% rule is used to check the validity of assuming x (or 2 x, 3x, and so on) is very small compared to some number. When x (or 2 x. 3x. and so on) is less than 5% of the number the assumption was made against, then the assumption is said to be valid. If the 5% rule fails, what do you do to solve for the equilibrium concentrations?
The following two diagrams represent the composition of an equilibrium mixture for the reaction A2 + B2 2AB at two different temperatures. Based on the diagrams, is the chemical reaction endothermic or exothermic? Explain your answer using Le Chteliers principle. (A atoms are red and B atoms are green in the diagrams.)
. Many sugars undergo a process called mutarotation, in which the sugar molecules interconvert between two isomeric forms, finally reaching an equilibrium between them. This is true for the simple sugar glucose, C6H12O6, which exists in solution in isomeric forms called alpha-glucose and beta-glucose. If a solution of glucose at a certain temperature is analyzed, and it is found that the concentration of alpha-glucose is twice the concentration of beta-glucose, what is the value of K for the inter-conversion reaction?
In Section 17.3 of your text, it is mentioned that equilibrium is reached in a closed system. What is meant by the term “closed system,” and why is it necessary for a system to reach equilibrium? Explain why equilibrium is not reached in an open system.
