Nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia are in equilibrium in a 1000-L reactor at 550 K. The concentration of N2 is 0.00485 M, H2 is 0.022 M, and NH3 is 0.0016 M. The volume of the container is halved, to 500 L. (a) Calculate the equilibrium constant. (b) Define y as the change in the concentration of nitrogen in the 500-L container. Is y positive or negative? (c) Write the iCe table and express the equilibrium constant in a polynomial in terms of y.
In Table 12.1 (←Sec. 12-3a) the equilibrium constant for the reaction ⇋ is given as 4.2 × 1052. If this reaction is so product-favored, why can large piles of yellow sulfur exist in our environment (as they do in Louisiana and Texas)?
5.12. True or false: If all the partial pressures of reactants and products drop by half, the value of Q drops by half. Give an example of a chemical reaction to support your answer.
Describe a nonchemical system that is in equilibrium, and explain how the principles of equilibrium apply to the system.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
Because carbonic acid undergoes a second ionization, the student in Exercise 12.39 is concerned that the hydrogen ion concentration she calculated is not correct. She looks up the equilibrium constant for the reaction HCO,-(aq) «=* H+(aq) + COf'(aq) Upon finding that the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 4.8 X 10“H, she decides that her answer in Exercise 12.39 is correct. Explain her reasoning. A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H,CO,(aq) 5=6 H+(aq) + HCO,'(aq) K = 4.4 X 10'7She starts with 0.1000 A1 carbonic acid. W hat are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?
A gaseous material XY(g) dissociates to some extent to produce X(g) and Y(g): XY(g)X(g)+Y(g) A 2.00-g sample of XY (molar mass = 165 g/mol) is placed in a container with a movable piston at 25C. The pressure is held constant at 0.967 atm. As XY begins to dissociate, the piston moves until 35.0 mole percent of the original XY has dissociated and then remains at a constant position. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the density of the gas in the container after the piston has stopped moving, and determine the value of K for this reaction of 25C.

The equilibrium constant K for the reaction 2CI(g)CI2(g) was measured as a function of temperature (Kelvin).
