- Write an equation for an equilibrium system that would lead to the following expressions (ac) for K. (a) K=(Pco)2 (PH2)5(PC2H6)(PH2O)2 (b) K=(PNH3)4 (PO2)5(PNO)4 (PH2O)6 (c) K=[ ClO3 ]2 [ Mn2+ ]2(Pcl2)[ MNO4 ]2 [ H+ ]4 ; liquid water is a productarrow_forwardShow that the complete chemical equation, the total ionic equation, and the net ionic equation for the reaction represented by the equation KI(aq)+I2(aq)KI3(aq) give the same expression for the reaction quotient. KI3 is composed of the ions K+ and I3-.arrow_forwardSuppose a reaction has the equilibrium constant K = 1.3 108. What does the magnitude of this constant tell you about the relative concentrations of products and reactants that will be present once equilibrium is reached? Is this reaction likely to be a good source of the products?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_forwardThe decomposition of PCl5(g) to form PCl3(g) and Cl2(g) has Kc = 33.3 at a high temperature. If the initial concentration of PCl5 is 0.1000 M, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products?arrow_forwardAt a certain temperature, K=0.29 for the decomposition of two moles of iodine trichloride, ICl3(s), to chlorine and iodine gases. The partial pressure of chlorine gas at equilibrium is three times that of iodine gas. What are the partial pressures of iodine and chlorine at equilibrium?arrow_forward
- Write equilibrium-constant expressions Kp for each of the following reactions: a H2(g)+Br2(g)2HBr(g) b CS2(g)+4H2(g)CH4(g)+2H2S(g) c 4HCl(g)+O2(g)2H2O(g)+2Cl2(g) d CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g)arrow_forwardAfter a mixture of cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene has reached equilibrium at 600 K, where Kc = 1.47, half of the cis-2-butcne is suddenly removed. Answer these questions: (a) Is the new mixture at equilibrium? Explain why or why not. (b) In the new mixture, which rate is faster, cis trans or trans cis? Or are both rates the same? (c) In an equilibrium mixture, which concentration is larger, cis-2-butenc or trans-2-butene? (d) If the concentration of cis-2-butene at equilibrium is 0.10 mol/L, what will be the concentration of trans-2-butene?arrow_forward
