Consider the following reaction where Kc = 6.50×10-3 at 298 K: 2NOBr(g) 2NO(g) + Br2(g) A reaction mixture was found to contain

9.83×10-2 moles of NOBr(g), 5.44×10-2 moles of NO(g), and 4.13×10-2 moles of Br2(g), in a 1.00 liter container. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, what direction must it run in order to reach equilibrium? The reaction quotient, Qc

Answer:

This reaction isn't yet at an equilibrium. It must shift in the direction of the reactant (namely \rm NOBr\; (g)) in order to reach an equilibrium.

For this mixture, the reaction quotient is Q_c = 0.0126.

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is at equilibrium if and only if its reaction quotient Q_c is equal to the equilibrium constant K_c.

Start by calculating the equilibrium quotient Q_c of this reaction. Given the reaction:

\rm 2\; NOBr\; (g) \rightleftharpoons 2\; NO\; (g) + Br_2\; (g).

Let [\mathrm{NOBr\; (g)}], [\mathrm{NO\; (g)}], and [\mathrm{Br_2\; (g)}] denote the concentration of the three species. The formula for the reaction quotient of this system will be:

\displaystyle Q_c = \frac{[\mathrm{NO\; (g)}]^2 \cdot [\mathrm{Br_2\; (g)}]}{[\mathrm{NOBr\; (g)}]^2}.

(Note, that in this formula, both [\mathrm{NO\; (g)}] and [\mathrm{NOBr\; (g)}] are raised to a power of two. That corresponds to the coefficients in the balanced reaction.)

Calculate the reaction quotient given the concentration of each species:

\displaystyle Q_c = \frac{[\mathrm{NO\; (g)}]^2 \cdot [\mathrm{Br_2\; (g)}]}{[\mathrm{NOBr\; (g)}]^2} \approx 1.26\times 10^{-2} = 0.0126.

(Note that the unit is ignored.)

Apparently, Q_c > K_c. Since Q_c and K_c are not equal, this reaction is not at an equilibrium. If external factors like temperature stays the same,

Keep in mind that Q_c denotes a quotient. To reduce the value of a quotient, one may:

  • reduce the value of the numerator,
  • increase the value of the denominator, or
  • both.

In Q_c, that means reducing the concentration of the products while increasing the concentration of the reactants. In other words, the system needs to shift in the direction of the reactants before it could reach an equilibrium.

Mandarinka [93]
The experimental density of CO2 at STP is 0.10/0.056=1.78 g/L. The percent error equals to (1.96-1.78)/1.96*100%=9.18%. So the answer is 9.18%.
