For a general reaction:
Reaction quotient is defined as the ratio of concentration of products and reactants of chemical species present in the reaction mixture at a given point of time. It is denoted with
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products and the concentration of reactants, which are in equilibrium, and its value is constant at a particular temperature. It denoted by K.
Here,
A and B are reactants, C and D are products, and
At equilibrium,
The equilibrium concentration of reactants and products, present in liquid or solid phase, in the reaction is considered to be

- Phosgene, COCl2, used in the manufacture of polyurethane plastics, is prepared from CO and Cl2. CO(g)+Cl2(g)COCl2(g) An equilibrium mixture at 395C contains 0.012 mol CO and 0.025 mol Cl2 per liter, as well as COCl2 If Kc at 395C is 1.23 103, what is the concentration of COCl2?arrow_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_forwardConsider the following reactions at some temperature: 2NOCl(g)2NO(g)+Cl2(g)K=1.6105 2NO(g)N2(g)+O2(g)K=11031 For each reaction, assume some quantities of the reactants were placed in separate containers and allowed to come to equilibrium. Describe the relative amounts of reactants and products that would be present at equilibrium. At equilibrium, which is faster, the forward or reverse reaction in each case?arrow_forward
- Heating a metal carbonate leads to decomposition. BaCO3(s) BaO(s) + CO2(g) Predict the effect on the equilibrium of each change listed below. Answer by choosing (i) no change, (ii) shifts left or (iii) shifts right. (a) add BaCO3 (b) add CO2 (c) add BaO (d) raise the temperature (e) increase the volume of the flask containing the reactionarrow_forwardConsider the following statements: Consider the reaction A(g)+B(g)C(g),for which at equilibrium [A] = 2 M, [B] = 1 M, and [C] = 4 M. To a 1-L container of the system at equilibrium, you add 3 moles of B. A possible equilibrium condition is [A] = 1 M, [B] = 3 M, and [C] = 6 M because in both cases K = 2. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements and everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements, and explain.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_forward
- A 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_forwardFor a typical equilibrium problem, the value of K and the initial reaction conditions are given for a specific reaction, and you are asked to calculate the equilibrium concentrations. Many of these calculations involve solving a quadratic or cubic equation. What can you do to avoid solving a quadratic or cubic equation and still come up with reasonable equilibrium concentrations?arrow_forwardAt a particular temperature, iodine vapor, I2, is added to a bulb containing H2(g). Describe what is happening to the concentrations of reactants on the molecular level: (a) at the moment I2 enters the reaction bulb (b) as reaction proceeds (c) at equilibriumarrow_forward

SO2CI2(g)SO2(g)+CI2(g) [SO2CI2]=0.12M,[CI2]=0.16M and [SO2]=0.050M. KC for the reaction is 0.078.arrow_forwardOn the basis of the value of Kc decide whether or not you expect nearly complete reaction at equilibrium for each of the following: a N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g);Kc=4.61031 b C2H4(g)+H2(g)C2H5(g);Kc=1.31021arrow_forwardAntimony pentachloride decomposes according to this equation: SbCl5(g)SbCl3+Cl2(g) An equilibrium mixture in a 5.00-L flask at 443 C contains 3.85 g of SbCl5, 9.14 g of SbCl3, and 2.84 g of Cl2.
