Concept introduction:
According to Dalton’s law, the total pressure of a mixture of two or more nonreactive gases is equal to the individual partial pressure of the gases present in the mixture. The pressure exerted by a gas in the mixture of gases is called its partial pressure.
The expression given by the ideal gas equation is as follows:

- At a certain temperature, K=0.29 for the decomposition of two moles of iodine trichloride, ICl3(s), to chlorine and iodine gases. The partial pressure of chlorine gas at equilibrium is three times that of iodine gas. What are the partial pressures of iodine and chlorine at equilibrium?arrow_forwardSuppose a reaction has the equilibrium constant K = 1.3 108. What does the magnitude of this constant tell you about the relative concentrations of products and reactants that will be present once equilibrium is reached? Is this reaction likely to be a good source of the products?arrow_forwardDescribe a nonchemical system that is in equilibrium, and explain how the principles of equilibrium apply to the system.arrow_forward
- Hydrogen gas and iodine gas react to form hydrogen iodide. If 0.500 mol H2 and 1.00 mol I2 are placed in a closed 10.0-L vessel, what is the mole fraction of HI in the mixture when equilibrium is reached at 205C? Use data from Appendix C and any reasonable approximations to obtain K.arrow_forwardMethanol, a common laboratory solvent, poses a threat of blindness or death if consumed in sufficient amounts. Once in the body, the substance is oxidized to produce formaldehyde (embalming fluid) and eventually formic acid. Both of these substances are also toxic in varying levels. The equilibrium between methanol and formaldehyde can be described as follows: CH3OH(aq)H2CO(aq)+H2(aq) Assuming the value of K for this reaction is 3.7 1010, what are the equilibrium concentrations of each species if you start with a 1.24 M solution of methanol? What will happen to the concentration of methanol as the formaldehyde is further converted to formic acid?arrow_forwardIodine chloride decomposes at high temperatures to iodine and chlorine gases. 2ICl(g)I2(g)+Cl2(g)Equilibrium is established at a certain temperature when the partial pressures of ICl, I2, and Cl2 are (in atm) 0.43, 0.16, and 0.27, respectively. (a) Calculate K. (b) If enough iodine condenses to decrease its partial pressure to 0.10 atm, in which direction will the reaction proceed? What is the partial pressure of iodine when equilibrium is reestablished?arrow_forward
