(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of equilibrium has to be explained, after the addition of Chlorine into Phosphorus pentachloride decomposition reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Le Chatelier's principle:
Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system in equilibrium gets disturbed due to modification of concentration, temperature, volume, and pressure, then it reset to counteract the effect of disturbance.
The concentrations of reactant and product are equal in equilibrium
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect of equilibrium has to be explained, after the addition of Phosphorus trichloride into Phosphorus pentachloride decomposition reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The effect of equilibrium has to be explained, after the addition of Phosphorus pentachloride into Phosphorus pentachloride decomposition reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- How does equilibrium represent the balancing of opposing processes? Give an example of an “equilibrium” encountered in everyday life, showing how the processes involved oppose each other.arrow_forwardExplain that equilibrium is dynamic, and that at equilibrium the forward and backward reaction rates are equal.arrow_forwardWhen writing a chemical equation for a reaction that comes to equilibrium. how do we indicate symbolically that the reaction is reversible?arrow_forward
- Decomposition of ammonium dichromate is shown in the designated series of photos. In a closed container this process reaches an equilibrium state. Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. How is the equilibrium affected if more ammonium dichromate is added to the equilibrium system? more water vapor is added? more chromium(III) oxide is added? Decomposition of ammonium dichromate, for Question 4. Decomposition of (NH4)2Cr2O7. Orange, solid (NH4)2Cr2O7 (a) can be ignited by lighting a wick (b), which initiates decomposition (c) forming Cr2O3, the dark green solid in part (d), N2 gas, and water vapor. Energy is transferred to the surroundings by the process.arrow_forwardIn Section 13.1 of your text, it is mentioned that equilibrium is reached in a closed system. What is meant by the term closed system. and why is it necessary to have a closed system in order for a system to reach equilibrium? Explain why equilibrium is not reached in an open system.arrow_forwardThe following reaction is earned out at 500 K in a container equipped with a movable piston. A(g)+B(g)C(g);Kc=10(at500K) After the reaction has reached equilibrium, the container has the composition depicted here. Suppose the container volume is doubled. a How does the equilibrium composition shift? b How does the concentration of each of the reactants and the product change? (That is, does the concentration increase, decrease, or stay the same?)arrow_forward
