Unit 3 Assessment for Feedback and Grading

Student name: Date:
This is an Assessment for feedback and grading, which is used to evaluate your work
based on established criteria and to assign a mark. Your teacher will provide you with
feedback and a mark which is worth 10% of your final grade.
Unit Level / Mark Percentage of final grade
3 / 26 / 10%
Instructions:
1. Read each question carefully.
2. Answer each question, showing all your work for any calculations.
3. Answer questions using full sentences unless instructed otherwise
Please answer the following questions in the space provided. Part marks will be awarded for
partial answers. Show all of your work for each calculation.
Curriculum Expectation E3. demonstrate an understanding of the concept of dynamic

equilibrium and the variables that cause shifts in the equilibrium of chemical systems.
1. You are a chemical engineer that is responsible for synthesizing a new drug. You
look at a series of potential chemical reactions that will make your drug along with
their respective K values. What type of K value would you be looking for and why?
(2 marks)
As a chemical engineer I will be looking for that chemical reaction for which value of
K is large. Because K is a determinant of production. The higher the value of of K the
greater will the production of the drug. Our sole aim will be to maximize the yield of
drug and it can be theoretically predicted from the value of K. That's why I will choose
that reaction for which the value of K is large.

2. Look at the following reaction:
N2O4 (g) 2NO2 (g) + 32.1 kJ
What would you have to do to the reaction in order to increase the magnitude of K?
(1 mark)
The only thing that changes an equilibrium constant is a change of temperature.

So, if we increase the temperature the value of K will be increases
3. If Q < K, which way will the reaction proceed and why? (1 mark)
Q can be used to determine which direction a reaction will shift to. If K > Q,
a reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into products. If K < Q,
the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction, converting products into reactants. If
Q = K, then the system is already at equilibrium.
4. Explain why the conjugate base of a strong acid can’t react with water. (2 marks)
A strong acid like HCl donates its proton so readily that there is essentially no
tendency for the conjugate base Cl– to reaccept a proton. ... A strong base like the H–
ion accepts a proton and holds it so firmly that there is no tendency for the conjugate
acid H2 to donate a proton. Hence, H2 is a very weak acid

5. Why are some salts acidic when others are neutral? (2 marks)
A salt can dissolve in water to produce a neutral, a basic, or an acidic solution,

depending on whether it contains the conjugate base of a weak acid as the anion (A−),
the conjugate acid of a weak base as the cation (BH+), or both. Salts that contain
small, highly charged metal ions produce acidic solutions in water. An acidic salt
increases the concentration of hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. A basic salt
increases the concentration of hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. A neutral salt
produces neither hydrogen ions nor hydroxide ions in solution
Curriculum Expectation E2. investigate the qualitative and quantitative nature of chemical
systems at equilibrium, and solve related problems.
Answers of all questions attached at the end of the file
1. Consider the following reaction:
PCl3 (g)+ Cl2 (g) PCl5 (g) K = 4.30 x 10-6
Initially, 2.50 M PCl3 and 1.40 M Cl2 are placed into a container and allowed to
reach equilibrium. Determine the equilibrium concentrations of all the species.
