- Nitrosyl chloride, NOC1, decomposes to NO and Cl2 at high temperatures. 2 NOCl(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) Suppose you place 2.00 mol NOC1 in a 1.00–L flask, seal it, and raise the temperature to 462 °C. When equilibrium has been established, 0.66 mol NO is present. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kc for the decomposition reaction from these data.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_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.

- Gaseous 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?
