- The equilibrium constant Kc for the synthesis of methanol, CH3OH. CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g) is 4.3 at 250C and 1.8 at 275C. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardYou place 0.600 mol of nitrogen, N2, and 1.800 mol of hydrogen, H2, into a reaction vessel at 450C and 10.0 atm. The reaction is N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) What is the composition of the equilibrium mixture if you obtain 0.048 mol of ammonia, NH3, from it?arrow_forwardFor the reaction N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) show that Kc = Kp(RT)2 Do not use the formula Kp = Kc(RT)5n given in the text. Start from the fact that Pi = [i]RT, where Pi is the partial pressure of substance i and [i] is its molar concentration. Substitute into Kc.arrow_forward

(b) If NH4HS is placed in a flask already containing 0.020 mol/L of NH3 and then the system is allowed to come to equilibrium, what are the equilibrium concentrations of NH3 and H2S?arrow_forwardGaseous acetic acid molecules have a certain tendency to form dimers. (A dimer is a molecules formed by the association of two identical, simpler molecules.) The equilibrium constant Kp at 25C for this reaction is 1.3 103. a If the initial pressure of CH3COOH monomer (the simpler molecule) is 7.5 103 atm, what are the pressures of monomer and dimer when the system comes to equilibrium? (The simpler quadratic equation is obtained by assuming that all of the acid molecules have dimerized and then some of it dissociates to monomer.) b Why do acetic acid molecules dimerize?
