- Consider the following system at equilibrium at 25C: PCl3(g)+Cl(g)PCl5(g)G=92.50KJ What will happen to the ratio of partial pressure of PCl5 to partial pressure of PCI3 if the temperature is raised? Explain completely.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between K, Kp, and Q.arrow_forwardSulfur oxychloride, SO2Cl2, decomposes to sulfur dioxide and chlorine gases. SO2Cl2(g)SO2(g)+Cl2(g) At a certain temperature, the equilibrium partial pressures of SO2, Cl2, and SO2Cl2 are 1.88 atm, 0.84 atm, and 0.27 atm, respectively. (a) What is K at that temperature? (b) Enough Cl2 condenses to reduce its partial pressure to 0.68 atm. What are the partial pressures of all gases when equilibrium is reestablished?arrow_forward
- For the system SO3(g)SO2(g)+12 O2(g)at 1000 K, K=0.45. Sulfur trioxide, originally at 1.00 atm pressure, partially dissociates to SO2 and O2 at 1000 K. What is its partial pressure at equilibrium?arrow_forwardExplain why the development of a vapor pressure above a liquid in a closed container represents an equilibrium. What are the opposing processes? How do we recognize when the system has reached a state of equilibrium?arrow_forwardKp for the formation of phosgene, COCl2, is 6.5 1011 at 25 C.

Find S for I2(g) at 527C.arrow_forwardConsider the decomposition of CaCO3(s) into CaO(s) and Co2(g). What is the equilibrium partial pressure of CO2 at room temperature?arrow_forwardConsider the equation G = G + RT ln(Q). What is the value of G for a reaction at equilibrium? What does Q equal at equilibrium? At equilibrium, the previous equation reduces to G = RT ln(K). When G 0, what does it indicate about K? When G 0, what does it indicate about K? When t G = 0, what does it indicate about K? G predicts spontaneity for a reaction, whereas G predicts the equilibrium position. Explain what this statement means. Under what conditions can you use G to determine the spontaneity of a reaction?arrow_forward
- The following equilibrium is established in a closed container: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)H=393kJmol1 How does the equilibrium shift in response to each of the following stresses? (a) The quantity of solid carbon is increased. (b) A small quantity of water is added, and CO2 dissolves in it. (c) The system is cooled. (d) The volume of the container is increased.arrow_forwardExplain why an equilibrium between Br2(l) and Br2(g) would not be established if the container were not a closed vessel shown in Figure 13.5.arrow_forwardIf wet silver carbonate is dried in a stream of hot air. the air must have a certain concentration level of carbon dioxide to prevent silver carbonate from decomposing by the reaction Ag2CO3(s)Ag2O(s)+CO2(g) H for this reaction is 79.14 kJ/mol in the temperature range of 25 to 125C. Given that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in equilibrium with pure solid silver carbonate is 6.23 103 torr at 25C, calculate the partial pressure of CO2 necessary to prevent decomposition ofAg2CO3 at 110C.
