- In a particular experiment, the equilibrium constant measured for the reaction, Cl2(g)+NO2(g)Cl2NO2(g), is 2.8. Based on this measurement, calculate AG° for this reaction. Calculate AG° using data from Appendix E at the back of the book and discuss the agreement between your two calculations.arrow_forwardBecause calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions?

Is the dissolving of MgF2 in water all endothermic or an exothermic process? Give an explanation to support your conclusion.arrow_forward
- . The solubility product of iron(III) hydroxide is very small: Ksp=41038at 25 °C. A classical method of analysis for unknown samples containing iron is to add NaOH or NH3. This precipitates Fe(OH)3, which can then be filtered and weighed. To demonstrate that the concentration of iron remaining in solution in such a sample is very small, calculate the solubility of Fe(OH)3in moles per liter and in grams per liter.arrow_forwardNitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia are in equilibrium in a 1000-L reactor at 550 K.
