- Carbon dioxide decomposes into CO and O2 at elevated temperatures. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of oxygen in a sample at 1000 C for which the initial pressure of CO2 was 1.15 atm?arrow_forwardAdenosine triphosphate, ATP, is used as a free-energy source by biological cells. (See the essay on page 624.) ATP hydrolyzes in the presence of enzymes to give ADP: ATP(aq)+H2O(l)ADP(aq)+H2PO4(aq);G=30.5kJ/molat25C Consider a hypothetical biochemical reaction of molecule A to give molecule B: A(aq)B(aq);G=+15.0kJ/molat25C Calculate the ratio [B]/[A] at 25C at equilibrium. Now consider this reaction coupled to the reaction for the hydrolysis of ATP: A(aq)+ATP(aq)+H2O(l)B(aq)+ADP(aq)+H2PO4(aq) If a cell maintains a high ratio of ATP to ADP and H2PO4 by continuously making ATP, the conversion of A to B can be made highly spontaneous. A characteristic value of this ratio is [ATP][ADP][H2PO4]=500 Calculate the ratio [B][A] in this case and compare it with the uncoupled reaction. Compared with the uncoupled reaction, how much larger is this ratio when coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP?arrow_forwardMonochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.arrow_forward
- Old-fashioned smelling salts consist of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. The reaction for the decomposition of ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3(s)2NH3(g)+CO(g)+H2O(g) is endothermic. Would the smell of ammonia increase or decrease as the temperature is increased?arrow_forwardCobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate, CoCl26H2O, is a bright pink compound, but in the presence of very dry air it loses water vapor to the air to produce the light blue anhydrous salt CoCl2. Calculate the standard free-energy change for the reaction at 25C: CoCl26H2O(s)CoCl2(s)+6H2O(g) Here are some thermodynamic data at 25C: What is the partial pressure of water vapor in equilibrium with the anhydrous salt and the hexahydrate at 25C? (Give the value in mmHg.) What is the relative humidity of air that has this partial pressure of water? The relative humidity of a sample of air is Relativehumidity=partialpressureofH2O(g)inairvaporpressureofwater100 What do you expect to happen to the equilibrium partial pressure over the hexahydrate as the temperature is raised? Explain.arrow_forward7-64 As we shall see in Chapter 20, there are two forms of glucose, designated alpha and betawhich are in equilibrium in aqueous solution. The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.5 at 30°C. (a) If you begin with a fresh 1.0 M solution of D-glucose in water, what will be its concentration when equilibrium is reached? (b) Calculate the percentage of glucose and of glucose present at equilibrium in aqueous solution at 30°C.arrow_forward

At what temperature will the equilibrium mixture contain equal numbers of moles of A and B?arrow_forwardFor the hypothetical reaction 2A(g) + B(g) ⇌ 3C(g) + heat, the equilibrium constant is 0.138 at 45∞C. What is the equilibrium constant for reaction, 3C(g) + heat ⇌ 2A(g) + B(g)?arrow_forward

At this temperature, ΔG° equals:A 0 kJ B -5.47 kJ C -3.74 D -7.47 kJ E -4.72 kJarrow_forwardA3 The forward reaction of the following equilibrium reaction is favored by: 2NO(g) + O2(g) <-> 2NO2(g) + Energy. If a 3.00 mole sample of a substance is melted by 18.0 kJ, what is the molar heat of fusion? (Can you show and explain step by step?)arrow_forwardThe equilibrium constant Kp for the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride to phosphorus trichloride and molecular chlorine is found to be 1.05 at 250 C. If the equilibrium partial pressures of PCl5 and PCl3 are 0.875 atm and 0.463 atm, respectively, what is the equilibrium partial pressure of Cl2?arrow_forward
