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.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The number of years it would take you to earn what Mike Trout will earn on his contract is 4,265

Explanation:

Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels has a contract worth $426,500,000

On the other side, you earn $100,000 per year.

To calculate the number of years it would take for you to earn what Mike Trout will earn from his contract, you must divide the amount Mike earned by the amount you earned during a year:

$426,500,000 ÷ $100,000 per year= 4,265

The number of years it would take you to earn what Mike Trout will earn on his contract is 4,265

A 3.28 L solution is prepared by dissolving 535 g CaCl2 in water. The molar mass of CaCl2 is 110.98 g. What is the morality of t
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

              1.47 mol/L

Explanation:

Molarity is given as,

                           Molarity = Moles / Vol in L    ------- (1)

Moles of CaCl₂,

                           Moles = Mass / M.Mass

                           Moles = 535 g / 110.98 g/mol

                           Moles = 4.82 mol

Now, putting values in eq. 1.

                           Molarity = 4.82 mol / 3.28 L

                           Molarity = 1.47 mol/L
