- The Mond process for purifying nickel involves the formation of nickel tetracarbonyl, Ni(CO)4, a volatile liquid, from nickel metal and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is passed over impure nickel to form nickel carbonyl vapor, which, when healed, decomposes and deposits pure nickel. Ni(s)+4CO(g)Ni(CO)4(g) Write the expression for Kc for this reaction.arrow_forwardSynthesis gas (a mixture of CO and H2) is increased in the concentration of hydrogen by passing it with steam over a catalyst. This is the so-called watergas shift reaction. Some of the CO is converted to CO2, which can be removed: CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g) Suppose you start with a gaseous mixture containing 1.00 mol CO and 1.00 mol H2O. When equilibrium is reached at 1000C, the mixture contains 0.43 mol H2. What is the molar composition of the equilibrium mixture?arrow_forwardConsider the following hypothetical reactions. The equilibrium constants K given for each reaction are defined in terms of a concentration unit of molecules per liter. A(g)B(g)K=2X(g)2Y(g)K=62C(g)D(g)K=1 Assume that the reactions have reached equilibrium. Match each of these reactions with one of the containers I to IV (each of which has a volume of 1 L). Identify the color of each molecule (for example, is A red or blue?).arrow_forward
- Carbon monoxide and hydrogen react in the presence of a catalyst to form methanol, CH3OH: CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g) An equilibrium mixture of these three substances is suddenly compressed so that the concentrations of all substances initially double. In what direction does the reaction go as a new equilibrium is attained?arrow_forwardK=4.9x10-3 for the reaction CO2(g)+H2(g)⇄ CO(g)+H2O(g). If [CO2]=0.00025 M, [H2]=0.0010 M, & [CO]=0.000015 M, what is the concentration at equilibrium of H2O? Answer 8.2x10-5M I got 1.84x10^-14? Can someone explain this to me please.arrow_forwardWhat is the equilibrium composition of a reaction mixture if you start with 0.500 mol each of H2 and I2 in a 1.0-L vessel? The reaction is H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g)Kc=49.7at458Carrow_forward
- Phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5, decomposes when heated. PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) If the initial concentration of PCl5 is 1.00 mol/L, what is the equilibrium composition of the gaseous mixture at 160C? The equilibrium constant Kc at 160C is 0.0211.arrow_forwardReaction: 1 A + 1B → 3C The initial [A] is 0.80 M and [B] is 4.90 M. At equilibrium, [A] is 0.40 M. What is the value of K?

Calculate the value of Kc for this equilibrium at the same temperature.PH₃BCl₃ (s) ⇄ PH₃ (g) + BCl₃ (g)Kc=Answerarrow_forwardHydrogen sulfide, a colorless gas with a foul odor, dissociates on heating: 2H2S(g)2H2(g)+S2(g) When 0.100 mol H2S was put into a 10.0-L vessel and heated to 1132C, it gave an equilibrium mixture containing 0.0285 mol H2. What is the value of Kc at this temperature?arrow_forwardExercise 17.5 For the exothermic reaction 2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)predict the equilibrium shift caused by each of the following changes. a.
