Question

The equilibrium constant K_c for the decomposition of phosgene, COCl_2, is 4.63 times 10^-3 at 527 degree C: COCl_2(g) CO(g) + cl_2(g) Calculate the equilibrium partial Pressure of all the components, starting with pure phosgene at 0.760 atm. Consider the following equilibrium process it 686 degree C: CO_2(g) + H_2(g) CO(g) + h_2O(g) The equilibrium concentrations of the reacting are [CO] = 0.050 M, (H_2) = 0.045 M, [CO_2] = 0.086 M, and [H_2O] = 0.040 M. (a) Calculate K_c for the reaction at 686 degree C. If we add CO_2 to increase its concentration to 0.50 mol/L. what will the concentrations of all the gases be when equilibrium is reestablished? Consider the heterogeneous equilibrium process: C(s) + C0O_2(g) 2CO(g) At 700 degree C, the total pressure of the system is found to be 4.50 atm. If the equilibrium constant K_P is 1.52, calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of CO_2 and CO. The equilibrium constant K_c for the reaction H_2(g) + CO_2(s) H_2O(g) + CO(g) is 4.2 at 1650 degree C. Initially 0.80 mol H_2 and 0.80 mol CO_2 are injected into a 5.0-L flask. Calculate the concentration of each species at equilibrium. Explain lessthanorequalto Chatelier's principle. How can this principle help us maximize the yields of reactions?

Explanation / Answer

   H2(g) + CO2(g) -------> H2O (g) + CO(g)

I              0.8       0.8                     0                 0

C            -x         -x                       +x                +x

E           0.8-x    0.8-x                   +x                +x

[H2]   = 0.8-x/5

[CO2]    = 0.8-x/5

[H2O]   = x/5

[CO]   = x/5

       Kc   = [H2O][CO]/[H2][Co2]

             =    x*x/(0.8-x)*(0.8-x)

    4.2    =( x/0.8-x)2

2.05   = x/0.8-x

2.05*(0.8-x) = x

x   = 0.54

[H2]   = 0.8-x/5   = 0.8-0.54/5   = 0.052M

[CO2]    = 0.8-x/5   = 0.8-0.54/5    = 0.052M

[H2O]   = x/5           = 0.54/5            = 0.108M

[CO]   = x/5            = 0.54/5            = 0.108M
