<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The equilibrium mixture contains primarily reactants.

<u>For b:</u> The equilibrium mixture contains primarily products.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 3 conditions:

  • When K_{eq}>1; the reaction is product favored.
  • When K_{eq}; the reaction is reactant favored.
  • When K_{e}=1; the reaction is in equilibrium.

For the given chemical reactions:

  • <u>For a:</u>

The chemical equation follows:

HCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons CN^-(aq.)+H_3O^+(aq.);K_{eq}=6.2\times 10^{-10}

The expression of K_{eq} for above reaction follows:

K_{eq}=\frac{[CN^-][H_3O^+]}{[HCN][H_2O]}=6.2\times 10^{-10}

As, K_{eq}, the reaction will be favored on the reactant side.

Hence, the equilibrium mixture contains primarily reactants.

  • <u>For b:</u>

The chemical equation follows:

H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HCl(g);K_{eq}=2.51\times 10^{4}

The expression of K_{eq} for above reaction follows:

K_{eq}=\frac{[HCl]^2}{[H_2][Cl_2]}=2.51\times 10^{4}

As, K_{eq}>1, the reaction will be favored on the product side.

Hence, the equilibrium mixture contains primarily products.

The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C
Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of O_2(g) are needed to completely burn 19.7 g C_3H_8(g)

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Putting in the values we get:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{19.7g}{44g/mol}=0.45moles

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of C_3H_8 requires 5 moles of oxygen

0.45 moles of C_3H_8 require= \frac{5}{1}\times 0.45=2.25 moles of oxygen

Mass of O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.25\times 32=72g

72 grams of O_2(g) are needed to completely burn 19.7 g C_3H_8(g)
