At a certain temperature, the following reaction comes to equilibrium in a closed container:

N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)

The equilibrium concentrations are measured as:

  • [N2]=0.40 M

  • [H2]=0.60 M

  • [NH3]=0.20 M

Write the equilibrium expression and solve for the value of equilibrium constant.

Consider the following acid-base reaction:

HCO3-(aq)+H2O(l)⇌H2CO3(aq)+OH-(aq)

Identify the acid, base, conjugate base, and conjugate acid.

HCO3-(aq) - Base

H2O(l) - Acid

H2CO3(aq) - Conjugate acid

OH-(aq) - Conjugate base

Can the following chemical reaction form a buffer system? Why or why not?

CH3COOH(aq) +NaOH(aq) <--> CH₃COONa(aq) +H2O(l)

Yes, since you have a weak reactant (in this case, a weak acid) and its conjugate pair (in this case, a weak conjugate base), you can form a buffer system.

For the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) <--> 2HI(g), the equilibrium constant, Kc = 50.2 at 445oC. 

If the initial concentrations in a reactor at 445ºC are: [H2]0 = [I2]0 = [HI]0 = 1.75x10-3 M, will the concentrations change for the system to come to equilibrium?  If concentrations change, which concentrations will increase and which will decrease in order to establish equilibrium?  Do not calculate the final, equilibrium concentrations.

Q = 1

1 < 50.2, so Q<K

The reaction isn't in equilibrium

In order to reach equilibrium, the reactant concentrations must increase to shift the reaction to the right.

Suppose 17.0 g of ammonia gas is placed into a previously empty 4.00 L reaction vessel maintained at constant high temperature and the following reaction comes to equilibrium:

2NH3(g) <--> 3H2(g) + N2(g)

Careful measurements show that after equilibrium is established, 0.50 mole of ammonia is present in the reactor. 

Sketch reasonable curves for the molar concentrations of the three substances showing the progress of reaction to reach this equilibrium position.  Your plot should show linear increments of concentration along the concentration axis.

The pKvalues for sulfurous acid are 1.857 and 7.172. 

  • First write the balanced chemical equations corresponding to these values for pKa.
  • Then give your reasoning to explain why 0.10 M sodium hydrogen sulfite aqueous solution is acidic or basic.

1. H2SO3-(aq) + H2O(l) <--> HSO3-2(aq) + H3O+(aq) -- pKa = 1.857

HSO3-2(aq) + H2O(l) <--> SO3-3(aq) + H3O+(aq) -- pKa = 7.172

2. Acidic; Since the pKa is smaller, that means that the acid is stronger making it more acidic
