Recall from our discussion of the NO,-N2O4 equilibriumthat NO, has a brownish color. At elevated temperatures,NO2 reacts with CO according toNO2(g) + CO(g) 2 NO(g) + CO2(g)The other three gases taking part in this reaction are color-less. When a gas mixture is prepared at 500 K, in which3.4 atm is the initial partial pressure of both NO, and CO,and 1.4 atm is the partial pressure of both NO and CO2,the brown color of the mixture is observed to fade as thereaction progresses toward equilibrium. Give a conditionthat must be satisfied by the equilibrium constant K (forexample, it must be greater than or smaller than a givennumber).

The expression for equilibrium constant for a given equilibrium reaction is: If K>1, then…

At a certain temperature, K=0.29 for the decomposition of two moles of iodine trichloride, ICl3(s), to chlorine and iodine gases. The partial pressure of chlorine gas at equilibrium is three times that of iodine gas. What are the partial pressures of iodine and chlorine at equilibrium?
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?
Show that the complete chemical equation, the total ionic equation, and the net ionic equation for the reaction represented by the equation KI(aq)+I2(aq)KI3(aq) give the same expression for the reaction quotient. KI3 is composed of the ions K+ and I3-.
A 4.72-g sample of methanol (CH3OH) was placed in an otherwise empty 1.00-L flask and heated to 250.C to vaporize the methanol. Over time, the methanol vapor decomposed by the following reaction: CH3OH(g)CO(g)+2H2(g) After the system has reached equilibrium, a tiny hole is drilled in the side of the flask allowing gaseous compounds to effuse out of the flask. Measurements of the effusing gas show that it contains 33.0 times as much H2(g) as CH3OH(g). Calculate K for this reaction at 250.C.

A chemist wants to prepare phosgene, COCl2, by the following reaction: CO(g)+Cl2(g)COCl2(g) He places 4.00 g of chlorine, Cl2, and an equal molar amount of carbon monoxide, CO, into a 10.00-L reaction vessel at 395C. After the reaction comes to equilibrium, he adds another 4.00 g of chlorine to the vessel in order to push the reaction to the right to get more product. What is the partial pressure of phosgene when the reaction again comes to equilibrium? Kc = 1.23 103.
Mustard gas, used in chemical warfare in World War I, has been found to be an effective agent in the chemotherapy of Hodgkin's disease. It can be produced according to the following reaction: SCl2(g)+2C2H4(g)S(CH2CH2Cl)2(g)An evacuated 5.0-1- flask at 20.0C is filled with 0.258 mol SCl2 and 0.592 mol C2H4.

In the laboratory, hydrogen chloride (HCl(g)) and ammonia (NH3(g)) often escape from bottles of their solutions and react to form the ammonium chloride (NH4Cl(s)), the white glaze often seen on glassware. Assuming that the number of moles of each gas that escapes into the room is the same, what is the maximum partial pressure of HCl and NH3 in the laboratory at room temperature? (Hint: The partial pressures will be equal and are at their maximum value when at equilibrium.)

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.
