. Equilibrium is microscopically dynamic but macroscopically static. Explain what this means.
. Explain why the development of a vapor pressure above a liquid in a closed container represents an equilibrium. What are the opposing processes? How do we recognize when the system has reached a state of equilibrium?
Suppose liquid water and water vapor exist in equilibrium in a closed container. If you add a small amount of liquid water to the container, how does this affect the amount of water vapor in the container? If, instead, you add a small amount of water vapor to the container, how does this affect the amount of liquid water in the container?
A gaseous material XY(g) dissociates to some extent to produce X(g) and Y(g): XY(g)X(g)+Y(g) A 2.00-g sample of XY (molar mass = 165 g/mol) is placed in a container with a movable piston at 25C. The pressure is held constant at 0.967 atm. As XY begins to dissociate, the piston moves until 35.0 mole percent of the original XY has dissociated and then remains at a constant position. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the density of the gas in the container after the piston has stopped moving, and determine the value of K for this reaction of 25C.

5.19. Assume that a reaction exists such that equilibrium occurs when the partial pressures of the reactants and products are all . If the volume of the system were doubled, all of the partial pressures would be . Would the system still be at equilibrium? Why or Why not?
. 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?
A piece of gold (10.0 g, CAu = 0.129 J/g K) is heated to 100.0 C. A piece of copper (also 10.0 g, CCu = 0.385 J/g K) is chilled in an ice bath to 0 C. Both pieces of metal are placed in a beaker containing 150. g H2O at 20 C. Will the temperature of the water be greater than or less than 20 C when thermal equilibrium is reached? Calculate the final temperature.
