Equilibrium Constants (18.3)

For the following reactions, first write the equilibrium expression and then solve for Keq using
the concentrations provided.

1. C(s) + CO2(g)  2CO(g) [CO2] = 5.43M, [CO] = 0.38M

2. Na2SO4 (s)  2Na+ (aq) + SO4-2 (aq) [Na+] = 0.032M, [SO4-2] = 1.6M

3. 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g)  2SO3 (g) [SO2] = 1.49M, [O2] = 370. M, [SO3] = 3.22M

4. NH3 (aq) + H2O (l)  NH4+ (aq) + OH= (aq) [NH3] = 0.002M, [NH4+] = 0.0038M,
[OH-] = 0.0056M

5. What does a Keq value less than 1 mean? What does a value greater than 1 mean? What
does it mean if Keq equals 1?

LeChatelier’s Principle (18.3)

For the following reaction, predict whether the equilibrium will shift to the left or the right, and
then predict whether the concentrations and Keq will increase, decrease, or remain the same.
CO2 (g) + H2 (g) + 77 kJ  CO (g) + H2O (g)
