To determine: An explanation for deciding the limits for the estimated range.
Answer
The limits were decided for the estimated range.
The equilibrium constant expression is important in deciding the limits for the estimated range. It allows us to predict several important features of the reaction: the tendency of the reaction to occur but it does not tell about the speed of the reaction.
(iii)
To determine: The other information that enable to narrow the estimated range.
Answer
The other information involves temperature and pressure.
The equilibrium constant changes with temperature. If energy is added to a system in equilibrium, the position of equilibrium will be in the direction that consumes energy. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in reverse direction. When pressure of a system in equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift toward the side having fewer moles of gas.
