Consider the following equilibrium: N₂O₂ (g) 2NO₂ (g) AG=5.4 kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 2.57 atm of dinitrogen tetroxide (N₂O₂) at 138. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: Under these conditions, will the pressure of N₂O4 tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO₂? In other words, if you said the pressure of N₂O4 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding NO₂? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N₂O4 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding NO₂? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO rise fall O yes O no 5 do

12.108 A nuclear engineer is considering the effect of discharging waste heat from a power plant into a lake and estimates that this may warm the water locally to 25 °C. One question to be considered is the effect of this temperature change on the uptake of CO2 by the water. The equilibrium constant for the reaction CO2+H2OH2CO3 ; is K=1.7103 at 25 °C.

Indicate whether each statement below is true or false. If a statement is false, rewrite it to produce a closely related statement that is true. For a given reaction, the magnitude of the equilibrium constant is independent of temperature. If there is an increase in entropy and a decrease in enthalpy when reactants in their standard states are converted to products in their standard states, the equilibrium constant for the reaction must be negative. The equilibrium constant for the reverse of a reaction is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant for the reaction itself. For the reaction H2O2(ℓ) ⇌ H2O(ℓ) + O2(g) the equilibrium constant is one half the magnitude of the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2H2O2(ℓ) ⇌ 2H2O(ℓ) + O2(g)

A 4.72-g sample of methanol (CH3OH) was placed in an otherwise empty 1.00-L flask and heated to 250.C to vaporize the methanol. Over time, the methanol vapor decomposed by the following reaction: CH3OH(g)CO(g)+2H2(g) After the system has reached equilibrium, a tiny hole is drilled in the side of the flask allowing gaseous compounds to effuse out of the flask. Measurements of the effusing gas show that it contains 33.0 times as much H2(g) as CH3OH(g). Calculate K for this reaction at 250.C.
