Chemical Principles
- Molecular bromine, Br2, dissociates at elevated temperatures into bromine atoms, Br. Br2(g)2Br(g) A 3.000-L flask initially contains pure molecular bromine. The temperature is then raised to 1600 K. If the total pressure of this equilibrium mixture at this elevated temperature is 1.000 atm, what are the total moles of gas in the container? A spectroscopic analysis of this mixture showed that it contained 1.395 g of Br atoms. What is the partial pressure of Br? What is Kp for the dissociation of molecular bromine to bromine atoms?arrow_forwardCalcium carbonate, CaCO3, decomposes when heated to give calcium oxide. CaO, and carbon dioxide, CO2. CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Kp for this reaction at 900C is 1.040 What would be the yield of carbon dioxide (in grams) when 1.000 g of CaCO3 and 1.000 g CaO are heated to 900C in a 1.000-L vessel. (Ignore the volume occupied by the solids.) What would be the effect of adding a similar quantity of carbon dioxide to this equilibrium mixture? What would happen if the quantity of calcium carbonate were doubled?arrow_forwardConsider the following equilibrium: COBr2(g) CO(g) + Br2(g)Kc = 0.190 at 73 C (a) A 0.50 mol sample of COBr2 is transferred to a 9.50-L flask and heated until equilibrium is attained. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of each species. (b) The volume of the container is decreased to 4.5 L and the system allowed to return to equilibrium. Calculate the new equilibrium concentrations. (Hint: The calculation will be easier if you view this as a new problem with 0.5 mol of COBr2 transferred to a 4.5-L flask.) (c) What is the effect of decreasing the container volume from 9.50 L to 4.50 L?arrow_forward
- A mixture of SO2, O2, and SO3 at 1000 K contains the gases at the following concentrations: [SO2] = 5.0 103 mol/L, [O2] = 1.9 103 mol/L, and [SO3] = 6.9 103 mol/L. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, which way will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium? 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) Kc = 279arrow_forwardMethanol is prepared industrially from synthesis gas (CO and H2). CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g);H=21.7kcal Would the fraction of methanol obtained at equilibrium be increased by raising the temperature? Explain.arrow_forwardAt 25C. Kp = 5.3 105 for the reaction N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) When a certain partial pressure of NH3(g) is put into an otherwise empty rigid vessel at 25C, equilibrium is reached when 50.0% of the original ammonia has decomposed. What was the original partial pressure of ammonia before any decomposition occurred?arrow_forward
- A 1.00-L vessel at 400 C contains the following equilibrium concentrations: N2, 1.00 M; H2, 0.50 M; and NH3, 0.25 M. How many moles of hydrogen must be removed from the vessel to increase the concentration of nitrogen to 1.1 M?arrow_forwardConsider the same reaction as in Question 11. In one experiment 1.0 mole of H2O(g) and 1.0 mole of CO(g) are put into a flask and heated to 350C. In a second experiment 1.0 mole of H2(g) and 1.0 mole of CO2(g) are put into another flask with the same volume as the first. This mixture is also heated to 350C. After equilibrium is reached, will there be any difference in the composition of the mixtures in the two flasks?arrow_forward. Explain why the development of a vapor pressure above a liquid in a closed container represents an equilibrium. What are the opposing processes? How do we recognize when the system has reached a state of equilibrium?arrow_forward
