Consider the following reaction where Kc = 1.80×10-2 at 698 K:
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is a measure of the relative amount of products and reagents present in a reaction at any given time, which is calculated in a reaction that may not yet have reached equilibrium.

For the reversible reaction aA + bB⇔ cC + dD, where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation, Qc is calculated by:

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

In this case:

Qc=\frac{[H_{2} ]*[I_{2} ] } {[HI]^{2}}

Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you have:

  • [H_{2} ]=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}=2.09*10⁻² \frac{moles}{liter}
  • [I_{2} ]=\frac{4.14*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}=4.14*10⁻² \frac{moles}{liter}
  • [I_{2} ]=\frac{0.280 moles}{1 Liter}= 0.280 \frac{moles}{liter}

So,

Qc=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} *4.14*10^{-2}  } {0.280^{2} }

Qc= 0.011

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.

Being Qc=0.011 and Kc=1.80⁻²=0.018, then Qc<Kc. <u><em>The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.</em></u>

Food molecules contain biochemical energy which is made available by
Juliette [100K]

Food molecules contain biochemical energy which is made available by a process called respiration.

 Respiration is the process within cells by which living things break down food chemicals in their bodies and use them as a source of energy.

The proteins, lipids and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules. This process is named catabolism and occurs in 3 stages.

Stage 1 is the enzymatic breakdown of food molecules in the digestion process  into their monomer subunits- amino acids, glucose and glycerol.

Stage 2 is the process of glycolysis where each molecule of glucose is converted to pyruvate.

Stage 3 is production of ATP,  the form of energy needed by the body to function. This stage takes place in the mitochondria of the cells. ATP is produced from conversion of pyruvate to acetylCoA in a process called the Citric Acid Cycle.
