Interpretation:
Diagrams corresponding to each temperature should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The net concentrations of the reactants and products do not change at equilibrium. They are used to define an expression and the equilibrium constant (K) which has a characteristic value.
For a reaction at a given temperature,
Le Chatelier's principle is a general rule used to explain the effect of a change in reaction conditions on equilibrium.
Le Chatelier's principle states:
If a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed, equilibrium will shift in the direction to counteract the change.
Endothermic reaction absorbs energy to drive the forward reaction.

- The reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen to form methanol is quite slow at room temperature. As a general rule, reactions go faster at higher temperatures. Suppose that you tried to speed up this reaction by increasing the temperature. (a) Assuming that rH does not change very much as the temperature changes, what effect would increasing the temperature have on rSsurroundings? (b) Assuming that rS for a reaction System does not change much as the temperature changes, what effect would increasing the temperature have on rSuniverse?arrow_forwardHydrogenation, the addition of hydrogen to an organic compound, is an industrially important reaction. Calculate rH, rS, and rG for the hydrogenation of octene, C8H16, to give octane, C8H19 at 25 C. Is the reaction product- or reactant-favored at equilibrium? C8H16(g) + H2(g) C8H18(g) Along with data in Appendix L, the following information is needed for this calculation.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
- Consider the reaction N2O4(g)2NO2(g). Would you expect this reaction to be endothermic or exothermic? Why? N2O4 is a colorless gas; NO2 is red-brown. Would you expect a mixture of these gases to become more or less red-brown as you raise the temperature? Explain.arrow_forwardSilver carbonate, Ag2CO3, is a light yellow compound that decomposes when heated to give silver oxide and carbon dioxide: Ag2CO3(s)Ag2O(s)+CO2(g) A researcher measured the partial pressure of carbon dioxide over a sample of silver carbonate at 220C and found that it was 1.37 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of carbon dioxide at 25C. The standard enthalpies of formation of silver carbonate and silver oxide at 25C are 505.9 kJ/mol and 31.05 kJ/mol, respectively. Make any reasonable assumptions in your calculations. State the assumptions that you make, and note why you think they are reasonable.arrow_forwardIndicate which of the following processes are reversible. (a) Nitrogen gas expands into a vacuum. (b) Dry ice, CO2(s), sublimes at 25 C and 1.0 atm. (c) Energy as heat is added to a mixture of ice and water at 0 C, causing some of the ice to melt.

BCl3(g) + 32 H2(g) B(s) + 3 HCl(g) Calculate rH, rS, and rG at 25 C for this reaction. Is the reaction predicted to be product-favored at equilibrium at 25 C?
