1. The reaction

is used to increase the ratio of hydrogen in synthesis gas (mixtures of CO and H2). Suppose you start
with 1,00 mol each of carbon monoxide and water in a 50,0 L vessel. How many moles of each
substance are in the equilibrium mixture at 1000°C? The equilibrium constant Kc at this temperature
is 0,58.

2. Look at each of the following equations and decide whether an increase of pressure obtained by
decreasing the volume will increase, decrease, or have no effect on the amounts of products.

a)

b)

c)

3. The following reaction has an equilibrium constant Kc equal to 3,59 at 900°C.

For each of the following compositions, decide whether the reaction mixture is at equilibrium. If it is
not, decide which direction the reaction should go.

a) [CH4]= 1,26 M, [H2S]= 1,32 M, [CS2]= 1,43 M, [H2]= 1,12 M

b) [CH4]= 1,25 M, [H2S]= 1,52 M, [CS2]= 1,15 M, [H2]= 1,73 M
c) [CH4]= 1,30 M, [H2S]= 1,41 M, [CS2]= 1,10 M, [H2]= 1,20 M
d) [CH4]= 1,56 M, [H2S]= 1,43 M, [CS2]= 1,23 M, [H2]= 1,91 M

L, calcule las concentraciones de H2, Br2 y HBr en el equilibrio.

6. Nitrogen monoxide, NO, reacts with bromine, Br2, to give nitrosyl bromide, NOBr.

A sample of 0,0524 mol NO with 0,0262 mol Br2 gives an equilibrium mixture containing 0,0311
mol NOBr. What is the composition of the equilibrium mixture?

8. Phosgene, COCl2, used in the manufacture of polyurethane plastics, is prepared from CO and
Cl2:

An equilibrium mixture at 395°C contains 0,012 mol CO and 0,025 mol Cl2 per liter, as well as COCl2.
If Kc at 395°C is 1,23 x 103, what is the concentration of COCl2?

9. The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction equals 4,1 at 300°C.

a) A sample of 35,8 g of PCl5 is placed in a 5,0 L reaction vessel and heated to 300°C. What are
the equilibrium concentrations of all of the species?
b) What fraction of PCl5 has decomposed?
c) If 35,8 g of PCl5 were placed in a 1,0 L vessel, what qualitative effect would this have on the
fraction of PCl5 that has decomposed (give a qualitative answer only; do not do the calculation)?
Why?

of H2. Explain the principle behind each way.
