2. A gaseous reaction mixture at 460oC contains 0.00250 mol SO2, 0.00350 mol NO2, 0.0250 mol NO and 0.0400 mol SO3 in a 2.0 L container; Kc = 85.0 for SO2(g) + NO2 (g) = SO3 (g) + NO(g).

a) Is the system at equilibrium? NO YES Explain.

Kc = {[SO3][NO]} / {[SO2][NO2]

à Q = {[0.0400mol/2.0L][0.0250 mol/2.0 L]} / {[0.00250 mol/2.0L][0.00350mol/2.0L]} = 114.3

Q= 114.3 =/= Kc = 85.0 so that the system is not at equilibrium

b) If it is not at equilibrium, in which direction will the system move to reach equilibrium? SHOW REASONING.

Since Q is larger than Kc, there are too many products so that the equilibrium will shift toward the reactants (left) 

3. The value of Kp or Kc is given for each of the following reactions. Write the Kp expression for each reaction and calculate the value of the one of Kp or Kc, which is not given.

a) 2 NOBr(g) = 2 NO(g) + Br2(g); Kc = 0.1563 at 350 K

Kp =( pNO 2 * pBr2 ) / pNOBr 2

Kp = Kc(RT)Dng = 0.1563 (0.08206 Latm/mol deg * 350K) ^(3-2) = 0.1563(28.72)1 = 4.489

Kp = |_4.49 (atm)____

b) CO(g) + 2 H2(g) = CH3OH(g); Kp = 2.05 x 104 at 298 K

 Kp = pCH3OH / (pCO * pH2 2)

Kc = Kp(RT) -Dng = 2.05 x 104 (0.08206 Latm/mol deg * 298K)^(1-3) = 2.05x104 (24.45)2 = 1.226 x 107

Kc = |_1.23 x 107 (L2/mol2)___

4. When 0.0560 mol O2 and 0.20 mol N2O are put in a 1.00 liter sealed container at 25oC, the following equilibrium is established: 2N2O(g) + 3 O2(g) = 4NO2(g). The equilibrium concentration of NO2 is 0.020 mol/L. Calculate:

Kc = [NO2]4 / {[N2O]2[O2]3}

[N2O] = |_0.20 - 0.010 M = 0.19 M_______

b) [O2]

[O2] = |_0.0560 M - 0.015 M = 0.041 M________

 c) Kc =[NO2]4 / {[N2O]2[O2]3} = [0.020]4 / {[0.19]2[0.041]3} = 1.6 x 107 / 2.49 x 10-6 = 0.06431

Kc = |_0.064______

5. For the reaction 2 IBr(g) = I2(g) + Br2(g), Kc is 2.5 x 10-3 at 25o C. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of each species in a 2.0 L vessel starting with 0.30 mol IBr.

 Kc = {[I2][Br2]} / [IBr]2

Kc = {[I2][Br2]} / [IBr]2 = [x][x] / [0.15 - 2x] = 2.5 x 10-3;

solve by taking square root of both sides of equation

x / (0.15 - 2x) = 5.0 x 10-2; x = (0.15 - 2x) * 5.0 x 10-2 = 7.5 x 10-3 - 0.10 x

1.10 x = 7.5 x 10-3 ; x = 6.8182 x 10-3

[IBr] = |_0.15 - 2(.00682) = 0.1364 = 0.14 M_____

[I2] = |_x = 0.0068 M______

[Br2] = |_= x = 0.0068 M_______________

6. The Kp (atm) = 0.108 for the decomposition of ammonium hydrogen sulfide according to the reaction: NH4HS(s) = NH3(g) + H2S(g). Calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of all species

Kp = 0.108 = p NH3 * p H2S = x * x = x2 since the ammonium bisulfide is a solid

x = 0.3286 atm

p NH3 = |_0.329 atm________

p H2S = |_0.329 atm ________

 

7. The heterogeneous reaction 2 HCl(g) + I2(s) = 2 HI(g) + Cl2(g) has Kc = 1.6 x 10-34 at 25oC. If 1.00 mol of HCl and solid I2 was placed in a 1.00 liter container, what would be the equilibrium concentrations of HI and Cl2 in the container?

 Kc = {[HI]2[Cl2]} / [HCl]2; as long as there is some left, pure I2 solid is not part of the Kc expression

Kc = {[HI]2[Cl2]} / [HCl]2 = {[2x]2[x] / [1.00 - 2x]2 = 1.6 x 10-34; Kc is very small so approximate 2x as very small compared to 1.00 M;

4x3/ [1.00]2 ~ 1.6 x 10-34 ~ 4 x3;

x3 ~ 1.6 x 10-34/4 ~ 4.0 x 10-35

x ~ 3.420 x 10-12 M ; very small approximation OK

 [HI] = |_ 2(3.42 x 10-12) M = 6.84 x 10-12 M_________

 [Cl2] = |_3.42 x 10-12 M _______________

 

8.a. Give the conjugate acid for each of the following. (Add H+)

N2H4 _N2H5+______ H2PO4- _H3PO4_____ SO42- _HSO4- _____ HF _H2F+_____

b. Give the conjugate base for each of the following. (Subtract H+)

NH3_NH2-_____ HPO42- _PO43- _____H2SO3 _HSO3-____ HCl _Cl -____

 

9. Choose the stronger acid. State the reason.

  1. HOCl or HClO2
  2. The extra very electronegative O (not bonded to H) helps withdraw electron density making it easier to remove H+

  • HBr or HCl
  • The weaker bond and less electronegative Br makes it easier to remove H+

  • H2CO3 or HNO3
  • The extra very electronegative O (not bonded to H), together with the more electronegative N helps withdraw electron density making it easier to remove H+
