(a)
Interpretation:
The ICE table for the following reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The condition of equilibrium is a state of balance of processes that runs in opposite directions. At equilibrium, the formation of a product from reactant balanced the formation of reactant from product. Also, the change in concentration of reaction and product seems to be negligible at equilibrium state.
The general equilibrium reaction is as follows:
Here,
The expression of the equilibrium constant for the above reaction is as follows:
Here,
(b)
Interpretation:
The ICE table for the following reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (1).

- The following series of diagrams represent the reaction XY followed over a period of time. The X molecules are red and the Y molecules are green. At the end of the time period depicted, has the reaction system reached equilibrium? Justify your answer with a one-sentence explanation.arrow_forwardIn the figure, orange fish are placed in one aquarium and green fish in an adjoining aquarium. The two tanks are separated by a removable partition that is initially closed. (a) Describe what happens in the first few minutes after the partition is opened. (b) What would you expect to see several hours later? (c) How is this system analogous to dynamic chemical equilibrium?arrow_forward. In general terms. what does the equilibrium constant for a reaction represent? What is the algebraic form of the equilibrium constant for a typical reaction? What do square brackets indicate when we write an equilibrium constant?arrow_forward
- For the following reactions, predict whether the pressure of the reactants or products increases or remains the same when the volume of the reaction vessel is increased. (a) H2O(l)H2O(g) (b) N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) (c) C2H4(g)+H2O(g)C2H5OH(g)arrow_forward. For a given reaction at a given temperature, the special ratio of products to reactants defined by the equilibrium constant is always equal to the same number. Explain why this is true, no matter what initial concentrations of reactants (or products) may have been taken in setting up an experiment.arrow_forward
