- 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_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. Is the reaction at equilibrium (at 500 K)? If not, which way must the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?arrow_forwardKc for the decomposition of ammonium hydrogen sulfide is 1.8 104 at 25 C. NH4HS(s) NH3(g) + H2S(g) (a) When the pure salt decomposes in a flask, what are the equilibrium concentrations of NH3 and H2S? (b) If NH4HS is placed in a flask already containing 0.020 mol/L of NH3 and then the system is allowed to come to equilibrium, what are the equilibrium concentrations of NH3 and H2S?arrow_forward

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?
