Consider the isomerization of butane with equilibrium constant is 2.5 .The system is originally at equilibrium with :
[butane]=1.0 M , [isobutane]=2.5 M
If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what is the equilibrium concentration of each gas?
Answer:
The equilibrium concentration of each gas:
[Butane] = 1.14 M
[isobutane] = 2.86 M
Explanation:
Butane ⇄ Isobutane
At equilibrium
1.0 M 2.5 M
After addition of 0.50 M of butane:
(1.0 + 0.50) M -
After equilibrium reestablishes:
(1.50-x)M (2.5+x)
The equilibrium expression will wriiten as:
![K_c=\frac{[Isobutane]}{[Butane]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BIsobutane%5D%7D%7B%5BButane%5D%7D)

x = 0.36 M
The equilibrium concentration of each gas:
[Butane]= (1.50-x) = 1.50 M - 0.36M = 1.14 M
[isobutane]= (2.5+x) = 2.50 M + 0.36 M = 2.86 M
Since particles are closer together, solids conduct heat better than liquids or gases. Conduction moves heat through a material. It keeps a fire going by spreading the heat through solid material. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require particles to carry the heat energy.
Answer:
Concentration, because the amounts of reactants and products remain constant after equilibrium is reached.
Explanation:
The rate of reaction refers to the amount of reactants converted or products formed per unit time.
As the reaction progresses, reactions are converted into products. This continues until equilibrium is attained in a closed system.
When equilibrium is attained, the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of reverse reaction, hence the concentration of reactants and products in the system remain fairly constant over time.
When deducing the rate of reaction, concentration of the specie of interest is plotted on the y-axis against time on the x-axis.
The formula for the compounds in the reaction are as follows with the respective states
Carbon monoxide - CO (g)
hydrogen - H₂ (g)
methane - CH₄(g)
water - H₂O (l)
reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas gives rise to methane and water
the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows
CO(g) + 3H₂(g) --> CH₄(g) + H₂O(l)
