Interpretation:
The equilibrium constant (Kc) values are given. From this the equilibrium constant of given aqueous phase equilibrium reaction at
Concept Introduction:
Equilibrium constant: The respective values of K depend on whether the solution being calculated for is using concentration (or) partial pressure. The gas equilibrium constant related to the equilibrium (K) and both are derived from the ideal gas.
Kp and Kc: This equilibrium constants of gaseous mixtures, these difference between the two constants is that Kc is defined by molar concentrations, whereas Kp is defined by the partial pressures of the gasses inside a closed system.
Equilibrium pressure: The equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures of a reaction equation. It is used to express the relationship between product pressures and reactant pressures. It is unites number, although it relates the pressures.
Balancing of equilibrium reaction: The many of
To find: Calculate the Molar concentration (Kc) given the statement.

- Lexan is a plastic used to make compact discs, eyeglass lenses, and bullet-proof glass. One of the compounds used to make Lexan is phosgene (COCl2), an extremely poisonous gas. Phosgene decomposes by the reaction COCl2(g)CO(g)+Cl2(g) for which Kp 6.8 109 at 100C. If pure phosgene at an initial pressure of 1.0 atm decomposes, calculate the equilibrium pressures of all species.arrow_forwardThe formation of ammonia from its elements is an important industrial process. 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g) 1. Does the reaction shift to the right or to the left, or does it remain unchanged, when extra H2 is added? (a) shift left (b) shift right (c)unchangedarrow_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
