- Complete each of these reactions by filling in the blanks. Predict whether each reaction is product-favored or reactant-favored, and explain your reasoning. (a) (aq)+HSO4(aq)HCN(aq)+SO42(aq) (b) H2S (aq) + H2O() H3O+(aq) + _____ (aq) (c) H(aq) + H2O() OH(aq) +_____ (g)arrow_forwardPredict whether each of the following processes results in an increase in entropy in the system. (Define reactants and products as the system.) (a) Water vapor condenses to liquid water at 90 C and 1 atm pressure. (b) The exothermic reaction of Na(s) and Cl2(g) forms NaCl(s). (c) The endothermic reaction of H2 and I2 produces an equilibrium mixture of H2(g), I2(g), and HI(g). (d) Solid NaCl dissolves in water forming a saturated solution.arrow_forwardWhen a mixture of hydrogen and bromine is maintained at normal atmospheric pressure and heated above 200. °C in a closed container, the hydrogen and bromine react to form hydrogen bromide and a gas-phase equilibrium is established. Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. Use bond enthalpies from Table 6.2 ( Sec. 6-6b) to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), which is more important in determining the position of this equilibrium, the entropy effect or the energy effect? In which direction will the equilibrium shift as the temperature increases above 200. °C? Explain. Suppose that the pressure were increased to triple its initial value. In which direction would the equilibrium shift? Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?arrow_forward
- Actually, the carbon in CO2(g) is thermodynamically unstable with respect to the carbon in calcium carbonate(limestone). Verify this by determining the standardGibbs free energy change for the reaction of lime,CaO(s), with CO2(g) to make CaCO3(s).arrow_forwardWet limestone is used to scrub SO2 gas from the exhaust gases of power plants. One possible reaction gives hydrated calcium sulfite: CaCO3(s) + SO2(g) + H2O() CaSO3 H2O(s) + CO2(g) Another reaction gives hydrated calcium sulfate: CaCO3(s) + SO2(g) + H2O() + O2(g) CaSO4 H2O(s) + CO2(g) (a) Which reaction is more product-favored at equilibrium?

- Answer this problem.arrow_forwardAt −9.01°C the concentration equilibrium constant Kc =9.5 for a certain reaction. Here are some facts about the reaction: Some of the reactants are liquids and solids. The net change in moles of gases is −2 . If the reaction is run at constant pressure, 118./kJmol of heat are absorbed. Using these facts, can you calculate Kc at 15.°C ? Yes. No. If you said yes, then enter your answer at right. Round it to 2 significant digits. If you said no, can you at least decide whether Kc at 15.°C will be bigger or smaller than Kc at −9.01°C ? Yes, and Kc will be bigger. Yes, and Kc will be smaller. No.arrow_forwardConsider the following system at equilibrium: Fe2 O3 (s) + 3H2 (g) = 2 Fe (s) +3H2O (g) ΔΗ -98.7 kJ | If the volume was increased, what changes would have to occur to reestablish equilibrium? The concentration of H2 would increase. The concentration of H2 would decrease. The concentration of H20 would decrease. The concentration of H20 would increase. No changearrow_forward
