The elementary reaction 2H2O(g)<-->2H2(g)+O2{g) proceeds at a certain temperature until the partial pressures of H20 , H2 , and O2 reach 0.053 atm, 0.0077 atm, and 0.0049 atm, respectively, at equilibrium. What is the value of the equilibrium constant at this temperature? Do not write your answer in scientific notation, give your answer as a decimal.

Because carbonic acid undergoes a second ionization, the student in Exercise 12.39 is concerned that the hydrogen ion concentration she calculated is not correct. She looks up the equilibrium constant for the reaction HCO,-(aq) «=* H+(aq) + COf'(aq) Upon finding that the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 4.8 X 10“H, she decides that her answer in Exercise 12.39 is correct. Explain her reasoning. A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H,CO,(aq) 5=6 H+(aq) + HCO,'(aq) K = 4.4 X 10'7She starts with 0.1000 A1 carbonic acid. W hat are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?

The following data are for the system A(g)2B(g) (a) How long does it take the system to reach equilibrium? (b) How does the rate of the forward reaction compare with the rate of the reverse reaction after 45 s? After 90 s?
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 interconversion reaction?
