(a)
Interpretation:
The direction of the equilibrium shift when the concentration of Ozone is decreased has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Le-Chatelier Principle:
If a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed the system will react in the direction that counteracts the disturbance the stress.
Example:
If the concentration of the reactant is increased the equilibrium of the reaction shifted to the right side.
If the concentration of the reactant is decreased the equilibrium of the reaction shifted to the left side.
(b)
Interpretation:
The direction of the equilibrium shift when the concentration of Oxygen is decreased has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The direction of the equilibrium shift when the concentration of Ozone is increased has to be given.

- Consider the equation G = G + RT ln(Q). What is the value of G for a reaction at equilibrium? What does Q equal at equilibrium? At equilibrium, the previous equation reduces to G = RT ln(K). When G 0, what does it indicate about K? When G 0, what does it indicate about K? When t G = 0, what does it indicate about K? G predicts spontaneity for a reaction, whereas G predicts the equilibrium position. Explain what this statement means. Under what conditions can you use G to determine the spontaneity of a reaction?arrow_forwardThe formation of ammonia from its elements is an important industrial process. 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g) 1.

- The only stress (change) that also changes the value of K is a change in temperature. For an exothermic reaction, how does the equilibrium position change as temperature increases, and what happens to the value of K? Answer the same questions for an endothermic reaction. If the value of K increases with a decrease in temperature, is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Explain.arrow_forwardExplain why an equilibrium between Br2(l) and Br2(g) would not be established if the container were not a closed vessel shown in Figure 13.5.arrow_forwardThe following reaction occurs when a burner on a gas stove is lit: CH4+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(g) Is an equilibrium among CH4, O2, CO2, and H2O established under these conditions?
