At 700 K, the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) <====> 2SO3(g) has the equilibrium constant Kc = 4.3 x 106. At a certain instant, f

ollowing concentrations are present in the system: [SO2] = 0.10 M; [SO3] = 10. M; [O2] = 0.10 M. Is the mixture at equilibrium? If not at equilibrium, in which direction (as the equation is written), left to right or right to left, will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is defined for a generic reaction:

aA + bB → cC + dD

Q=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are not those of equilibrium, but other given concentrations

Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which the direct and indirect reaction have the same speed and is represented by a constant Kc, which for a generic reaction as shown above, is defined:

Kc=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are those of equilibrium.

This constant is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

  • If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.
  • If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.
  • If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

In this case:

Q=\frac{[So_{3}] ^{2} }{[SO_{2} ]^{2}* [O_{2}] }

Q=\frac{10^{2} }{0.10^{2} *0.10}

Q=100,000

100,000 < 4,300,000 (4.3*10⁶)

Q < Kc

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

TRUE.

Explanation:

Mass Number is the sum of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopy is a phenonmenon that occurs when atoms of same elements have different mass number (Number of neutrons).

2H isotope has 1 proton and 1 neutron.

3H isotope has 1 proton and 2 neutrons.

This meeans 2H isotope has fewer neutrons when compared to the 3H isotope. The correct option is TRUE.

Look at sample problem 19.10 in the 8th ed Silberberg book. Write the Ksp expression. Find the concentrations of the ions you ne
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

CaF_2 \to Ca^{2+} + 2F^-

Ksp = 3.2 \times 10^{-11}

no of moles of Ca^{2+} = 0.01 L × 0.0010 mol/L

no of moles of Ca^{2+} = 1 \times 10^{-5} \ mol

no of moles of F^- = 0.01 L × 0.00010 mol/L

no of moles of F^- = 1 \times 10^{-6}\ mol

Total volume = 0.02 L

[Ca^{2+}}] = \dfrac{1\times10^{-5} \ mol}{0.02 \ L} \\ \\  \\  \[[Ca^{2+}}] = 0.0005 \ mol/L

[F^{-}] = \dfrac{(1\times 10^{-6} \ mol)}{0.02 \ L}

[F^{-}] = 5 \times 10^{-5}  \ mol/L

Q = [Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2 \\ \\ Q = 0.0005 \times (5\times 10^{-5})^2 \\ \\ Q = 1.25 \times 10^{-12}

Since Q<ksp, then there will no be any precipitation of CaF2
