(a)
Interpretation:
A balanced
Concept introduction:
Balanced Chemical equation:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of AB molecules increase, decrease or remain same when the volume of the equilibrium mixture is decreased has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system in equilibrium gets disturbed due to modification of concentration, temperature, volume, and pressure, then it reset to counteract the effect of disturbance.
Effect of change in pressure:
- According to Le Chatelier's principle, increase in pressure (decrease in volume) leads to flow of reaction in direction where number of moles is less.
- According to Le Chatelier's principle, decrease in pressure (increase in volume) leads to flow of reaction in direction where number of moles is more.

- Describe a nonchemical system that is in equilibrium, and explain how the principles of equilibrium apply to the system.arrow_forwardDuring 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?arrow_forwardThe figures below represent the following reaction at equilibrium at different temperatures. A2(g)+3B2(g)2AB3(g)where squares represent atom A and circles represent atom B. Is the reaction exothermic?arrow_forward

What does it mean to say that a state of chemical or physical equilibrium is dynamic?arrow_forward12.101 An engineer working on a design to extract petroleum from a deep thermal reservoir wishes to capture toxic hydrogen sulfide gases present by reaction with aqueous iron(II) nitrate to form solid iron(II) sulfide. (a) Write the chemical equation for this process, assuming that it reaches equilibrium. (b) What is the equilibrium constant expression for this system? (c) How can the process be manipulated so that it does not reach equilibrium, allowing the continuous removal of hydrogen sulfide?arrow_forwardThe following equilibrium is established in a closed container: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)H=393kJmol1 How does the equilibrium shift in response to each of the following stresses? (a) The quantity of solid carbon is increased. (b) A small quantity of water is added, and CO2 dissolves in it. (c) The system is cooled. (d) The volume of the container is increased.arrow_forward

She finds that the total pressure at equilibrium is 40% greater than it was originally, when only I2 was present. What is K for this reaction at that temperature?arrow_forwardThe following data are for the system A(g)2B(g) (a) How long does it take the system to reach equilibrium?
