Question
In the gas phase, acetic acid exists as an equilibrium of monomer and dimer
molecules. (The dimer consists of two molecules linked through hydrogen
bonds.)
The equilibrium constant, K., at 25 °C for the monomer-dimer equilibrium
2 CHgCOzH+(CH3CO,H)2
has been determined to be
3.2 × 10¹. Assume that acetic acid is present initially at a concentration of
4.0 x 10 mol/L at 25 °C and that no dimer is present initially.
a what percentage of the acetic acid is converted to dimer?
Percentage =
%
b As the temperature increases, in which direction does the equilibrium
shift? (Recall that hydrogen-bond formation is an exothermic process.)
Increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right.
Increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the left.
O No shift will occur.
