- The reaction 2 NO2(g) N2O4(g) has an equilibrium constant, Kc, of 170 at 25 C. If 2.0 103 mol of NO2 is present in a 10.-L. Flask along with 1.5 103 mol of N2O4, is the system at equilibrium? If it is not at equilibrium, does the concentration of NO2 increase or decrease as the system proceeds to equilibrium?arrow_forwardA mixture of SO2, O2, and SO3 at 1000 K contains the gases at the following concentrations: [SO2] = 5.0 103 mol/L, [O2] = 1.9 103 mol/L, and [SO3] = 6.9 103 mol/L. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, which way will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium? 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) Kc = 279arrow_forward. Consider an equilibrium mixture consisting of H2O(g), CO(g). H2(g), and CO2(g) reacting in a closed vessel according to the equation H2O(g)+CO(g)H2(g)+CO2(g)a. You add more H2O to the flask. How does the new equilibrium concentration of each chemical compare to its origin al equilibrium concentration after equilibrium is re-established? Justify your answer. b. You add more H2to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is re-established? Justify your answer.arrow_forward
- Phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5, decomposes on heating to give phosphorus trichloride, PCl5, and chlorine. PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) A closed 2.90-L vessel initially contains 0.0564 mol PCl5. What is the total pressure at 250C when equilibrium is achieved? The value of Kc at 250C is 4.15 102.arrow_forwardA chemist put 1.18 mol of substance A and 2.85 mol of substance B into a 10.0-L flask, which she then closed. A and B react by the following equation: A(g)+2B(g)3C(g)+D(g) She found that the equilibrium mixture at 25C contained 0.376 mol of D. How many moles of B are in the flask at equilibrium at 25C? a 2.47 mol b 3.60 mol c 2.52 mol d 2.10 mol e 2.41 molarrow_forwardFor the equilibrium 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) Kc = 245 (at 1000 K) the equilibrium concentrations are [SO2] = 0.102, [O2] = 0.0132, and [SO3] = 0.184. The concentration of SO2 is suddenly doubled. Show that the forward reaction takes place to reach a new equilibrium.arrow_forward
- Antimony(V) chloride. SbCl5, decomposes on heating to give antimony(III) chloride, SbCl3, and chlorine. SbCl5(g)SbCl3(g)+Cl2(g) A closed 3.50-L vessel initially contains 0.0125 mol SbCl5.

CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g) is 4.3 at 250C and 1.8 at 275C. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardPhosphorus pentachloride decomposes at elevated temperatures. PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) An equilibrium mixture at some temperature consists of 3.120 g of PCl5, 3.845 g of PCl3, and 1.787 g of Cl2 in a 10.0-L flask. If you add 1.418 g of Cl2, how will the equilibrium be affected? What will the concentrations of PCl5, PCl3, and Cl2 be when equilibrium is reestablished?arrow_forward
- Kp for the formation of phosgene, COCl2, is 6.5 1011 at 25 C. CO(g) + Cl2(g) COCl2(g) What is the value of Kp for the dissociation of phosgene? COCl2(g) CO(g) + Cl2(g)arrow_forwardThe reaction PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) was examined at 250 C. At equilibrium, [PCl5] = 4.2 105 mol/L, [PCl3] = 1.3 102 mol/L, and [Cl2] = 3.9 103 mol/L. Calculate Kc, for the reaction.arrow_forwardNitrosyl 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_forward
