Equilibrium Practice Problems Answers 201314
K = [NH3]2
[N2] [H2]3
K = [ICl]2
[Cl2]
K = [NO] [O2]1/2
[NO2]
Determine Concentrations.
PCl5 (g) ↔ PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g)
After 0.0500 -x 0.150 +x 0.250 + x
Substitute 0.0228 .177 .277
Determine Concentrations.
2 NO (g) ↔ N2 (g) + O2 (g)
Equil 6.8 x 10-3- 2X X X
Substitute 0.0001 0.0033 0.0033
Does this make sense considering the value of K.
6. Using the same reaction as in #5, calculate the equilibrium
concentrations of NO, N2, and O2 if the initial concentrations of each
species are:
[NO] = 0 M, [N2] = 0.850 M, [O2] = 0.560 M.
10. The equilibrium constant for the following reaction is 600°C is 4.0.
Initially, two moles of CO and one mole of H2O were mixed in a 1.0 liter
container. Determine the concentration of all species at equilibrium.
CO(g) + H2O(g) ↔ CO2 (g) + H2 (g)
Initial 2.0 M 1.0 M 0 0
Change -x -x +x +x
Equil 2.0 – x 1.0 - x x x
Plug into equilibrium expression and solve for x.
4.0 = [x]2 so x = 0.85
[1.0 – x][2.0 – x]
Determine Concentrations.
Equil 2.0 – 0.85 1.0 - 0.85 0.85 0.85
Substitute 1.2 0.1 0.85 0.85
11. If 5.0 moles of O2 and 4.0 moles of NO were entered into an empty 1.0
liter flask, calculate the equilibrium constant if the amount of NO2 found at
equilibrium was 1.5 moles.
2 NO (g) + O2 (g) ↔ 2 NO2 (g)
Initial 4.0 M 5.0 M 0
Change -2x -x +2x
Equil 4.0 – 2x 5.0 - x 2x
Using 1.5 = 2x and therefore x = 0.75 M
Equil 4.0 – 1.5 5.0 – 0.75 1.5
Substitute 2.5 4.25 1.5
2
K= [1.5] = 0.085
[2.5]2[4.25]
12. Two moles of NH3 were entered in a 1.0 liter container at 650°C. At
equilibrium only 71% of the original NH3 was found. Determine the
equilibrium constant of the following reaction.
2 NH3 (g) ↔ N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g)
Initial 2.0 M 0 0
Change -2x +x +3x
Equil 2.0 – 2x +x +3x
Using 2.0 – 2x = 2.0(71%) so x = 0.29
Equil 2.0 – 2(.29) 0.29 +3(0.29)
Substitute 1.42 0.29 0.87
K= (0.29)(0.87)3 = 0.095
(1.42)2
