- The following two diagrams represent the composition of an equilibrium mixture for the reaction A2 + B2 2AB at two different temperatures. Based on the diagrams, is the chemical reaction endothermic or exothermic? Explain your answer using Le Chteliers principle. (A atoms are red and B atoms are green in the diagrams.)arrow_forwardKc = 5.6 1012 at 500 K for the dissociation of iodine molecules to iodine atoms. I2(g) 2 I(g) A mixture has [I2] = 0.020 mol/Land [I] = 2.0 108 mol/L. Is the reaction at equilibrium (at 500 K)? If not, which way must the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?arrow_forwardFor the reactionH2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g), consider two possibilities: (a) you mix 0.5 mole of each reactant. allow the system to come to equilibrium, and then add another mole of H2 and allow the system to reach equilibrium again. or (b) you mix 1.5 moles of H2 and 0.5 mole of I2 and allow the system to reach equilibrium. Will the final equilibrium mixture be different for the two procedures? Explain.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardThe diagram represents an equilibrium mixture for the reaction N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) Estimate the equilibrium constant.arrow_forwardThe 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_forward
- 12.103 Methanol, CH3OH, can be produced by the reaction of CO with H2, with the liberation of heat. All species in the reaction are gaseous. What effect will each of the following have on the equilibrium concentration of CO? (a) Pressure is increased, (b) volume of the reaction container is decreased, (c) heat is added, (d) the concentration of CO is increased, (e) some methanol is removed from the container, and (f) H2 is added.arrow_forwardShow 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-.arrow_forwardFor the equilibrium 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) Kc = 245 (at 1000 K) the equilibrium concentrations are [SO2] = 0.102, [O2] = 0.0132, and [SO3] = 0.184. The concentration of SO2 is suddenly doubled. Show that the forward reaction takes place to reach a new equilibrium.arrow_forward
