- In Section 17.3 of your text, it is mentioned that equilibrium is reached in a closed system. What is meant by the term “closed system,” and why is it necessary for a system to reach equilibrium? Explain why equilibrium is not reached in an open system.arrow_forwardIn Section 13.1 of your text, it is mentioned that equilibrium is reached in a closed system. What is meant by the term closed system. and why is it necessary to have a closed system in order for a system to reach equilibrium? Explain why equilibrium is not reached in an open system.arrow_forwardHard water has a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions. Focusing on the calcium ion, a common home water -softening process is based on a reversible chemical change that can be expressed by Na2Ze(s)+Ca2+(aq)CaZe(s)+2Na+(aq). Na2Ze represents a solid resin that is like an ionic compound between sodium ions and zeolite ions, a complex arrangement of silicate and aluminate groups; CaZe is the corresponding calcium compound. When, during the day, is this system most likely to reach equilibrium? Why doesnt it reach equilibrium and stay there? Periodically it is necessary to recharge the water softner by running salt water, NaCl(aq), through it. Why is this necessary? What concept is discussed in this chapter does the recharging process illustrate? Zeolite ions are used in home water softners because they have a porous but rigid structure that is weakly attracted to cations, readily allowing an exchange among different ions.arrow_forward
- . Many sugars undergo a process called mutarotation, in which the sugar molecules interconvert between two isomeric forms, finally reaching an equilibrium between them. This is true for the simple sugar glucose, C6H12O6, which exists in solution in isomeric forms called alpha-glucose and beta-glucose. If a solution of glucose at a certain temperature is analyzed, and it is found that the concentration of alpha-glucose is twice the concentration of beta-glucose, what is the value of K for the inter-conversion reaction?arrow_forward12.101 An engineer working on a design to extract petroleum from a deep thermal reservoir wishes to capture toxic hydrogen sulfide gases present by reaction with aqueous iron(II) nitrate to form solid iron(II) sulfide. (a) Write the chemical equation for this process, assuming that it reaches equilibrium. (b) What is the equilibrium constant expression for this system? (c) How can the process be manipulated so that it does not reach equilibrium, allowing the continuous removal of hydrogen sulfide?arrow_forward5.19. Assume that a reaction exists such that equilibrium occurs when the partial pressures of the reactants and products are all . If the volume of the system were doubled, all of the partial pressures would be . Would the system still be at equilibrium? Why or Why not?arrow_forward

- A gaseous material XY(g) dissociates to some extent to produce X(g) and Y(g): XY(g)X(g)+Y(g) A 2.00-g sample of XY (molar mass = 165 g/mol) is placed in a container with a movable piston at 25C. The pressure is held constant at 0.967 atm. As XY begins to dissociate, the piston moves until 35.0 mole percent of the original XY has dissociated and then remains at a constant position. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the density of the gas in the container after the piston has stopped moving, and determine the value of K for this reaction of 25C.arrow_forwardHydrogen, bromine, and HBr in the gas phase are in equilibrium in a container of fixed volume. H2(g) + Br2(g) 2 HBr(g) rH = 103.7 kJ/mol How will each of these changes affect the indicated quantities? Write increase, decrease, or no change.arrow_forwardA small quantity of a soluble salt is placed in water. Equilibrium between dissolved and undissolved salt may or may not be attained.
