- The reaction 2 NO2(g) N2O4(g) has an equilibrium constant, Kc, of 170 at 25 C. If 2.0 103 mol of NO2 is present in a 10.-L. Flask along with 1.5 103 mol of N2O4, is the system at equilibrium? If it is not at equilibrium, does the concentration of NO2 increase or decrease as the system proceeds to equilibrium?arrow_forwardDinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4, is a colorless gas (boiling point, 21C), which dissociates to give nitrogen dioxide, NO2 a reddish brown gas. N2O4(g)2NO2(g) The equilibrium constant Kc at 25C is 0.125. What percentage of dinitrogen tetroxidc is dissociated when 0.0400 mol N2O4 is placed in a 1.00-L flask at 25C?arrow_forwardNitrosyl 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_forward
- At 2300 K the equilibrium constant for the formation of NO(g) is 1.7 103. N2(g) + O2(g) 2 NO(g) (a) Analysis shows that the concentrations of N2 and O2 are both 0.25 M, and that of NO is 0.0042 M under certain conditions. Is the system at equilibrium?

If 0.15 mol NO(g) is placed into an empty, sealed 10.0-L flask and heated to 2300 K, calculate the equilibrium concentrations of all three substances at this temperature.arrow_forwardGaseous acetic acid molecules have a certain tendency to form dimers. (A dimer is a molecule formed by the association of two identical, simpler molecules.) The equilibrium constant Kc at 25C for this reaction is 3.2 104. a If the initial concentration of CH3COOH monomer (the simpler molecule) is 4.0 104 M, what are the concentrations 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? What type of structure would you draw for the dimer? c As the temperature increases would you expect the percentage of dimer to increase or decrease? Why?arrow_forward
- For the reaction N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) show that Kc = Kp(RT)2 Do not use the formula Kp = Kc(RT)5n given in the text. Start from the fact that Pi = [i]RT, where Pi is the partial pressure of substance i and [i] is its molar concentration. Substitute into Kc.arrow_forwardKc for the decomposition of ammonium hydrogen sulfide is 1.8 104 at 25 C.
