Chapter 2.SE, Problem 64AP
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 2.SE, Problem 64AP , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

Using the pKa values the direction in which equilibrium is favored in the reaction given is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The direction in which equilibrium is favored in the reaction can be ascertained from the pKa values of the substances involved. Lower the pKa value, stronger the acid. Further the relative stabilization by resonance of the conjugate bases produced also has to be considered.

To determine:

The direction in which equilibrium is favored in the reaction using the pKa values given.

If the equilibrium concentration of ammonia is 0.448 M and the equilibrium concentration of nitrogen is 0.383 M, what is the equilibrium concentration (in mol/L) of hydrogen? Report your answer to THREE significant figures. 3 H2(g) + N2(g) ⇌ 2 NH3(g)
If the K eq = 798 at 25°C for the reaction 2So2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2SO3 (g)  calculate the equilibrium concentration of O2 given that the concentrations of the other chemicals are: [SO2] = 4.20 M; [SO3] = 11.0 M
Illustrate the process of determining the direction of equilibrium using pKa ?
