- Kc 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_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_forwardFor 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_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? What type of structure would you draw for the dimer? c As the temperature decreases, would you expect the percentage of dimer to increase or decrease?
