For the system SO3(g)SO2(g)+12 O2(g)at 1000 K, K=0.45. Sulfur trioxide, originally at 1.00 atm pressure, partially dissociates to SO2 and O2 at 1000 K. What is its partial pressure at 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?

Consider the same reaction as in Question 11. In one experiment 1.0 mole of H2O(g) and 1.0 mole of CO(g) are put into a flask and heated to 350C. In a second experiment 1.0 mole of H2(g) and 1.0 mole of CO2(g) are put into another flask with the same volume as the first. This mixture is also heated to 350C. After equilibrium is reached, will there be any difference in the composition of the mixtures in the two flasks?
