- The value of KC for the thermal decomposition of hydrogen sulfide, shown below, is 2.2 × 10-4 at 1400 K. A sample of gas in which [H2S] = 5.96 M is heated to 1400 K in a sealed vessel. After chemical equilibrium has been achieved, what is the value of [H2S]? Assume no H2 or S2 was present in the original sample.arrow_forwardApply Le Chatelier's principle and decide how (by altering temperature, pressure, and concentration) you could increase the amount of the products in the following reactions: 1) 2CO2 (g) ----> 2CO (g) + O2 (g) ΔH0=566 kJ 2) 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ----> 2SO3 (g) Please explain and show all three alterations for each reaction.arrow_forwardGas Initial Concentration (M) H2 0.030 I2 0.015 HI ? Samples of three gases, H2(g) , I2(g) , and HI(g) , were combined in a rigid vessel. The initial concentrations of H2(g) and I2(g) are given in the table above. (a) The original value of the reaction quotient, Qc , for the reaction of H2(g) and I2(g) to form HI(g) (before any reactions take place and before equilibrium is established), was 5.56 . On the following graph, plot the points representing the initial concentrations of all three gases. Label each point with the formula of the gas. Equilibrium was established at a certain temperature according to the following chemical equation. H2(g)+I2(g)⇄2HI(g)ΔH°rxn=−9.4kJ/molrxn;Kc=49 After equilibrium was established, the concentration of H2(g) was 0.020M . (b) On the graph above, carefully draw three curves, one for each of the three gases, starting from the initial points you drew in part ( a ). The curves must show how the concentration of each of the three gases changed…arrow_forward
- Please answer correct significant figarrow_forwardConsider the quilibrium reaction between X and Y, as shown below: X=Y AG The reaction is started with 10 mmol of X; no Y is initially present. After 48 hours, analysis reveals the presence of 10 mmol of X and 0 mmol of Y. Which is the most likely explanation? = −1 - 45 kJ mol X and Y have reached equilibrium concentrations. An enzyme has shifted the equilibrium toward X. Formation of Y is kinetically slow; equilibrium has not been reached by 48 hours. Formation of Y is thermodynamically unfavorable. Two of the above explanations are reasonable.arrow_forwardH- HHH H │ │ | I H -H+2H-H The above reactants would undergo a (n) catalyst reactionarrow_forward
