Equilibrium Constant:

1) What is the expression for the equilibrium constant for the equation
PCl3 (aq) + H2O (l)  H3PO4 (aq) + HCl (aq)

2) What is the value of the equilibrium constant, K, for the reaction 2SO 2 (g)+ O2 (g) 2SO3 (g) if
the equilibrium concentrations are 0.003 M for SO 2, 0.05 M for O2, and 0.00042 M for SO3?

3) Consider the following equation with an equilibrium constant of 1.1:

2NO (g) + O2 (g) NO2 (g)

At equilibrium, [O2] = 0.50 M and [NO2] = 0.60 M. What is the concentration of NO?

Le Chatelier’s Principle:

Consider the following reaction for questions 4-7:

CH3OH (g) + 101 kJ  CO (g) + 2H2 (g)

4) Which direction will equilibrium shift when the concentration of CO is increased?

5) Which direction will equilibrium shift when the volume of the container is increased?

6) Which direction will equilibrium shift when a catalyst is introduced?

7) If the goal is to produce as much carbon monoxide as possible, should the reaction be run at
high or low temperatures?
Acid/Base Equilibrium:

8) What is a buffer? Why is it used? How is it created? If I mix 0.5 M H 2CO3 with 0.5 M NaNO2,
does it create a buffer? Why or why not?

9) Are the following salts acidic, basic or neutral?

a. KI
b. AlCl3
c. NaF
d. MgSO4
e. NH4NO3

Solubility:

10) The solubility of PbCl2 is found to be 2 x 10-3 g/100 g H2O.

a. Write the equation for the dissociation of PbCl 2

b. What is the value of Ksp of PbCl2?

11) The Ksp of Ag3PO4 is found to be 1.7 x 10-20. What is the solubility of the salt?

12) The Ksp of AgBr is 5.0 x 10-13. Will a solid form when 10 mL of 0.01 M AgNO 3 is mixed with 50 mL
of 0.1 M CaBr2 and water is added to the solution until the total volume is 200 mL?
