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

What is the mole fraction of each component if 3.9 g of benzene (C6H6) is dissolved in 4.6 g of toluene (C7H8)
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Step 1 of 6

(a)

The mass of benzene is  , so calculate the moles of benzene as follows:



The mass of toluene is, so calculate the moles of toluene as follows:



Now, calculate the mole fraction as follows:





Therefore, the mole fraction of benzene and toluene is  and  respectively.

Step 2 of 6

(b)

The formula to calculate the partial pressure is as follows:



Here,  is the partial pressure of benzene,  is the vapour pressure of pure benzene and  is the mole fraction of benzene.

Vapour pressure of pure benzene at  is.

Substitute the values in the equation as follows:



Therefore, the partial pressure is  .

Step 3 of 6

(c)

Vapor pressure of the solution at 1 atm is  .

When the total pressure of the vapour pressure of the mixture is  at a temperature, then, the solution boils. It corresponds to the boiling point of the solution.

Calculate the total pressure of the solution at  as follows:



Since, the total pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure, the solution will not boil at  .

Calculate the total pressure of the solution at  as follows:



Since, the total pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the solution will boil at  .

Therefore, the boiling point of the solution is  .

Step 4 of 6

(d)

Mole fraction of benzene at  is calculated as follows:



Mole fraction of toluene at  is calculated as follows:



Therefore, the mole fractions of benzene and toluene are  and  respectively.

Step 5 of 6

(e)

Vapor pressure of benzene at  is  .

Partial pressure of benzene is calculated as follows:



Vapor pressure of toluene at  is  .

Partial pressure of toluene is calculated as follows:



Step 6 of 6

Weight composition of the vapour that is in equilibrium with the solution is calculated as follows:



Weight composition of the vapour that is in equilibrium with the solution is calculated as follows:
