(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of increase in temperature of given reaction results in what change in the concentration of acetone 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 temperature:
Endothermic reaction: In this reaction increase in temperature which is absorbed in reactant side, the reaction occurs in a way to relieve the stress in reactant side. The reaction occurs along the direction of product side and increases equilibrium constant.
Exothermic reaction: In this reaction increase in temperature which is released in product side, the reaction occurs in a way to relieve the stress in product side. The reaction occurs along the direction of reactant side and decreases equilibrium constant.
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect of decrease in pressure of the given reaction results in what change in the concentration of acetone 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 leads to flow of reaction in direction where number of moles is less.
- According to Le Chatelier's principle, decrease in pressure leads to flow of reaction in direction where number of moles is more.
(c)
Interpretation:
The effect of addition of argon in the given reaction 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.
(d)
Interpretation:
The effect of addition of
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.
(e)

- 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?arrow_forwardA mixture of 0.0565 mol phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5, and 0.0800 mol helium gas, He, was placed in a 1.000-L flask and heated to 250.0C. The phosphorus pentachloride decomposes at this temperature to give phosphorus trichloride, PCl3, and chlorine gas, Cl2. The helium gas is inert. PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) What is the partial pressure of helium in this equilibrium mixture at 250.0C? At equilibrium, the total pressure is found to be 6.505 atm. What is Kc for the dissociation of PCl5?arrow_forwardMolecular bromine, Br2, dissociates at elevated temperatures into bromine atoms, Br. Br2(g)2Br(g) A 3.000-L flask initially contains pure molecular bromine. The temperature is then raised to 1600 K. If the total pressure of this equilibrium mixture at this elevated temperature is 1.000 atm, what are the total moles of gas in the container? A spectroscopic analysis of this mixture showed that it contained 1.395 g of Br atoms. What is the partial pressure of Br? What is Kp for the dissociation of molecular bromine to bromine atoms?arrow_forward
- You 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_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_forwardWhat is the difference between homogeneous equilibrium and heterogeneous equilibrium?arrow_forward
