- Suppose a reaction has the equilibrium constant K = 1.3 108. What does the magnitude of this constant tell you about the relative concentrations of products and reactants that will be present once equilibrium is reached? Is this reaction likely to be a good source of the products?arrow_forwardWrite a chemical equation for an equilibrium system that would lead to the following expressions (ad) for K. (a) K=(PH2S)2 (PO2)3(PSO2)2 (PH2O)2 (b) K=(PF2)1/2 (PI2)1/2PIF (c) K=[ Cl ]2(Pcl2)[ Br ]2 (d) K=(PNO)2 (PH2O)4 [ Cu2+ ]3[ NO3 ]2 [ H+ ]8arrow_forwardConsider 0.200 mol phosphorus pentachloride sealed in a 2.0-L container at 620 K. The equilibrium constant, Kc, is 0.60 for PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) Calculate the concentrations of all species after equilibrium has been reached.arrow_forward
- The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction N2O4(g) 2 NO2(g) at 25 C is 5.9 103. Suppose 15.6 g of N2O4 placed in a 5.000-L flask at 25 C. Calculate the following; (a) the amount of NO2 (mol) present at equilibrium; (b) the percentage of the original N2O4 that is dissociated.arrow_forwardThe decomposition of PCl5(g) to form PCl3(g) and Cl2(g) has Kc = 33.3 at a high temperature. If the initial concentration of PCl5 is 0.1000 M, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products?arrow_forwardWhen 0.112 mol of NO and 18.22 g of bromine are placed in a 1.00-L reaction vessel and sealed, the mixture is heated to 350 K and the following equilibrium is established: 2NO(g)+Br2(g)2NOBr(g) If the equilibrium concentration of nitrosyl bromide is 0.0824 M, what is Kc?arrow_forward
- At some temperature. Kc = 33 for the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) 2 HI(g) Assume the initial concentrations of both H2 and I2 are 6.00 103 mol/L. Find the concentration of each reactant and product at equilibrium.arrow_forwardA 2.0-L reaction flask initially contains 0.010 mol CO, 0.80 mol H2, and 0.50 mol CH3OH (methanol). If this mixture is brought in contact with a zinc oxide chromium(III) oxide catalyst, the equilibrium CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g) is attained. The equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction at 300C is 1.1 102. What is the direction of reaction (forward or reverse) as the mixture attains equilibrium?arrow_forwardBecause calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid. What are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?arrow_forward
