Assignment no.4 : Chemical Equilibrium

Consider the equilibrium system represented by the equation :
                           2 CO (g)   +   O2 (g)           ↔         2 CO 2(g)    +   heat  
                                                                         (exothermic)
In what direction will the equilibrium shift when each of the following changes is made to
a system in equilibrium.
  
1.   Addition of some particles of carbon monoxide PRODUCT
2.   Decreasing the (total) pressure REACTANT
3.   Increasing the temperature REACTANT
4.   Increasing the concentration of oxygen gas PRODUCT
5.   Adding a catalyst NO EFFECT
6.   Decreasing the volume PRODUCT
7.   Decreasing the concentration of carbon dioxide REACTANT
8.   Adding more carbon dioxide PRODUCT
9.   Decreasing the temperature PRODUCT
10.  An inhibitor is added NO EFFECT
11.  Removal of concentration of oxygen gas REACTANT
12.  Volume of the container is increased NO EFFECT
13.  Increasing the pressure PRODUCT
14.  Decreasing the concentration of carbon dioxide PRODUCT
 
Solve the following problems with complete solution.
 
1.     At 25 0 C, Keq  = 2. 2 x 10 – 3 for the reaction:          ICl   (g)     =    ½ I 2 (g)   +  ½
Cl 2 (g)
              Calculate Keq at 25 0 C  :
                    A)  if the number of moles of the reaction is doubled.
                    B) of the reverse reaction.
 
2.     When carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas, methane and steam are formed.
                           CO (g)  +  H 2 (g)  =    CH 4 (g)     +   H 2O (g)
        At 1127 0 C, analysis at equilibrium shows that the partial pressure of gases are: 
       CO = 0.921 atm, H 2 = 1. 21 atm,  CH 4 = 0. 0391 atm  and  H 2O = 0.0124 atm.
What is
        equilibrium constant, Kc  for the reaction?
 
3.     At 100 0 C the equilibrium constant for the reaction    COCl 2 (g)  =  CO
(g)    +    Cl 2 (g)  has the
        value of  Kc = 2. 19 x 10 – 10 .  Predict the direction in which the system will move
to reach
       equilibrium from the following given concentrations:
         A) [ COCl 2 (g)] =  5. 00x 10 – 2  M ;   [ CO (g) ]  = 3. 31 x 10 – 6  M ;    [ Cl 2 (g) ]
= 3. 31 x 10 – 6 M 
         B) [ COCl 2 (g)]  =  1. 45 M ;              [ CO (g)] = 1. 56 x 10 – 6 M ;       [ Cl 2(g)]  =
1. 56 x 10 – 6 M
 
4.    Consider the reaction between ammonia and oxygen:  
                                         4 NH 3(g)  + 3 O 2 (g)  =  2 N 2 (g) + 6 H 2O (g)
       At a certain temperature, Kp = 0. 0049. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of
oxygen if the
       partial pressures of :  N 2  =  0. 213 atm, H 2O  =  0. 883 atm,  and NH 3 = 0. 255
atm.
 
5. A mixture of H 2  ,  S   and  H2S is held in a  10 L. vessel at 90 0 C until the following
equation is achieved:      H 2(g)   + S (s)  ⇌ H 2S (g). At equilibrium, the mixture
contains 0. 46 g H 2 (g), 6. 4 g S  and  0. 4 g H 2S (g) 
A) write the equilibrium expression for this reaction.;   
B) Calculate the Kc  and Kp at this temperature.
