Question

Be sure to answer all parts. The equilibrium constant, K for the formation of nitrosyl chloride from nitric oxide and chlorine, is 6.5 x 10^4 at 35 degree C. Calculate K for this reaction, and determine whether the reaction will proceed to the right or to the left to achieve equilibrium when the starting pressures arP NO = 1.01 atm, PCl2 = 0.42 atm, and NOCl = 1.76 atm. x 10 (Enter your answer in scientific notation.) reaction will proceed to the right reaction is at equilibrium reaction will proceed to the left

Explanation / Answer

Kc = 6.5 x 10^4

T = 35 +273 = 308K

R= 0.0821 L-atm /K mol

Kp = Kc (RT)Dn

Dn = product moles - reactant moles

      = 2 - (2+1)

       = -1

Kp = Kc (RT)Dn

       = 6.5 x 10^4 (0.0821 x 308 )-1

        =2570.5

        = 2.57 x 10^3

Kp = 2.57 x 10^3   --------------------------------------------(answer in the above box)

2 NO (g) + Cl2 (g) --------------------------> 2 NOCl (g)

   1.01          0.42                                          1.76           

reaction quotient (Qp) = P2NOCl/P2NO x PCl2

                                   = (1.76)^2 / (1.01)^2 (0.42)

                                   = 7.23

Kp > Qp

reaction will proceeds to the right (product side)   ----------------------------(answer)
