Sulfur dioxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form an equilibrium with sulfur trioxide and carbon monoxide, all gases (see the reaction below). A mixture of 1.91 mole each of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide is placed in an 2.9 L container and allowed to reach equilibrium. If the equilibrium constant, Kc, is 2.83 at this temperature, what is the concentration of sulfur trioxide at equilibrium? SO₂ (g) + CO₂ (g) = SO3 (g) + CO (g) Keep extra significant figures during the calculation and round your answer to 2 decimal places. This may not be the correct number of significant figures, but do it anyway.

Suppose a reaction has the equilibrium constant K = 1.3 108. What does the magnitude of this constant tell you about the relative concentrations of products and reactants that will be present once equilibrium is reached? Is this reaction likely to be a good source of the products?
. What does it mean to say that a state of chemical or physical equilibrium is dynamic?
During an experiment with the Haber process, a researcher put 1 mol N2 and 1 mol H2 into a reaction vessel to observe the equilibrium formation of ammonia, NH3. N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) When these reactants come to equilibrium, assume that x mol H2 react. How many moles of ammonia form?
. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?
