(a) As volume decreases, pressure increases and the reaction shifts in the
direction of fewer molecules (less volume; more SO3) to relieve the stress. Value
of Keq does not change.
(b) Additional O2 disturbs the equilibrium and SO3 is formed to relieve the
stress. Value of Keq does not change.
(c) Increase in temperature shifts the reaction to the left to “use up” some of
the added heat. Less SO3 remains. Value of Keq decreases due to the relative
greater increase in the rate of the endothermic reaction (reaction to the left).

2)
(a) PNH3 does not change. Since NH4Cl(s) has constant concentration (a = 1),
equilibrium does not shift.
(b) PNH3 increases. Since the reaction is endothermic, increasing the
temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right and more NH3 is present.
(c) PNH3 does not change. As V increases, some solid NH4Cl decomposes to
produce more NH3. But as the volume increases, PNH3 remains constant due to
the additional decomposition.
(d) PNH3 decreases. Some NH3 reacts with the added HCl to relieve the stress
from the HCl addition.
(e) PNH3 increases. Some of the added NH3 reacts with HCl to relieve the
stress, but only a part of the added NH3 reacts, so PNH3 increases.

3)
(a) KP = (PNH3)(PH2S)
PNH3 = PH2S = 0.659/2 atm = 0.330 atm
KP = (0.330)2 = 0.109
(b) PNH3 = 2 PH2S
(2x)(x) = 0.109 ; x = 0.233 atm = PH2S
PNH3 = 0.466 atm
(c) Equilibrium pressures of NH3 and H2S are each 0.330 atm. Amounts of
each NH3 and H2S that have reacted correspond to (0.500 - 0.330) = 0.170 atm.

(a) P = nRT/V = (3.509/135) x 0.0821 x 375 /1L

= 0.800 atm
(b) PSO2Cl2 = (0.800 - y) atm PSO2 = PCl2 = y atm
PT = PSO2Cl2 + PSO2 + PCl2
1.43 atm = (0.800 - y + y + y) atm
y = 0.63 atm = PSO2 = PCl2
PSO2Cl2 = (0.800 - 0.63) atm = 0.17 atm
(c) Kp = [ PSO2 x PCl2 ] / PSO2Cl2 = 0.632/0.17 = 2.3 atm
(d) Heat is absorbed during the dissociation and so K500 > K375. A stress is
placed on the system and K increases, which reduces the stress associated with
the higher temperature. The equilibrium will shift to the right favoring endothermic
reaction. This will produce more products and K will increase.

(a) mole fractionCO = (0.55 mol /1.6 mol) = 0.34

(b) Kc = ([H2O][CO]) / ([H2][CO2]) = (0.55x0.55)/(0.20x0.30) = 5.04
(c) since n = 0, Kc = Kp
(d) [CO] = 0.55 - 30.0% = 0.55 - 0.165 = 0.385 M
[H2O] = 0.55 - 0.165 = 0.385 M
[H2] = 0.20 + 0.165 = 0.365 M
[CO2] = 0.30 + 0.165 = 0.465 M
K = (0.385)2 / (0.365x0.465) = 0.87
(e) let x = [H2] to reach equilibrium
[H2] = 0.50 mol/3.0L - X = 0.167 - X
[CO2] = 0.50 mol/3.0L - X = 0.167 - X
[CO] = +X ; [H2O] = +X
K = X2/(0.167 - X)2 = 5.04 ; X = [CO] = 0.12 M

6)
(a) CO will decrease. An increase of hydrogen gas molecule will shift the
equilibrium to the left and increase the rate of the reverse reaction which
consumes CO. According to LeChatelier Principle the equilibrium shifts to the
left.
(b) CO will increase. Since the forward reaction is endothermic (a H > 0) an
increase in temperature will cause the forward reaction to increase its rate and
produce more CO. According to LeChatelier Principle the equilibrium shifts to
the right.
(c) CO will decrease. A decrease in volume will result in an increase in
pressure; the equilibrium will shift to the side with fewer gas molecules to
decrease the pressure. Therefore the equilibrium will shift to the left.
(d) CO will remain the same. Once at equilibrium, the size of the solid will
affect neither the reaction rates nor the equilibrium nor the concentrations of
reactants or products.

(a) 89.7 /299 = 0.300 mol SbCl5

1. [SbCl5]init = 0.300 mol/15L = 0.0200M
2. T = 182ºC + 273 = 455K
P = nRT/V = 0.300 x 0.0821 x 455 / 15L = 0.747 atm

(b) [SbCl3] = [Cl2] = (0.0200 mol/L)(0.292)= 5.84x10-3M

[SbCl5] = (0.0200 mol/L)(0.708) = 1.42x10-2M
Kc = [SbCl3][Cl2] / [SbCl5] = (5.84 x10-3 )2 / 1.42 x10-2 = 2.0 x10-3
OR
PSbCl3 = PCl2 = (0.747 atm)(0.292) = 0.218 atm
PSbCl5= (0.747 atm)(0.708) = 0.529 atm
Kp = (PSbCl3 ) (PCl2) / (PSbCl5) = 0.2182 / 0.529 = 8.98 x10-2
K = = [SbCl3][Cl2] / [SbCl5] = 0.117

(c) [SbCl5] eqbm = (1.00 -0.70)mol / 2.00L = 0.15M

[SbCl3]eqbm = 0.7/2 = 0.35M
[Cl2] = X = 0.05 M = 0.05M x 2L = 0.1 mol at equilibrium
0.1 + 0.3 ( consumed) = 0.4 mol minimum at initial

8)
(a) n=PV/RT = 7.76 x 5.00L / 0.0821 x 433 = 1.09 mol
mol H2O = (1/2)(1.09 mol) = 0.545 mol H2O(g)

(b) 0.545 x 2/1 x 84.0 / 1 = 91.9 g NaHCO3 decomposed

remaining = 100.g - 91.6g = 8.4g
OR
100 - (0.545 x18/1 + 0.545 mol CO2 x 44/1)
100g - 33.8g = 66g (or 66.2g) [includes Na2CO3 solid in this mass]

(c) Kp = (PH2O)(PCO2) =(3.88)(3.88)atm2 = 15.1 atm2

(d)Pressure would remain at 7.76 atm. Since some solid remained when
100.g was used (and there has been no temperature change), then using
110g will not affect the equilibrium.
9)
(a) The equilibrium pressure of NH3 gas would be unaffected. KP =
(PNH3)(PH2S). Thus the amount of solid NH4HS present does not affect the
equilibrium.
(b) The equilibrium pressure of NH3 gas would decrease. In order for the
equilibrium constant, KP, to remain constant, the equilibrium pressure of NH3
must decrease when the pressure of H2S is increased. KP = (PNH3)(PH2S). (A
complete explanation based on LeChatelier’s principle is also acceptable.)
(c) The mass of NH4HS increases. A decrease in volume causes the pressure
of each gas to increase. To maintain the value of the pressure equilibrium
constant, Kp, the pressure of each of the gases must decrease. The decrease
is realized by the formation of more solid NH4HS. Kp = (PNH3)(PH2S). (A
complete explanation based on LeChatelier’s principle is also acceptable.)
(d) The mass of NH4HS decreases because the endothermic reaction
absorbs heat and goes nearer to completion (to the right) as the temperature
increases.

(a) Kc = [NH3]2/ [N2] [H2] 3

(b) Kp = 0.202/ 0.50 x 0.203 = 10

(c) Kp = Kc [RT] = 10 x [0.0821x570]-2 = 10x46.7-2 = 4.7x10-3

i. an increase of T favors the endothermic reaction( reverse reaction) and
will produce more H2. The hydrogen concentration will increase.
ii. An increase in volume (decrease in pressure) favors the direction that
produces more molecules (increase in pressure) of the gas. The reverse
reaction is more favorable and will increase the H2 concentration.
iii. adding N2 will shift the reaction to the right so that the added amount is
being consumed. This will decrease the concentration of H2.
iv. The addition of He, an inert gas will have no effect on the concentration of
H2.

(b) [H2] = 2[S2] = 2 x 3.72 x10-2/1.25L = 5.95 x10-2 M

[H2S] = 0.10 mol – {2 x3.72 x10-2/1.25L} = 2.05 x10-2 M
[H2S] = 0.0800 – 0.0595 = 0.0205 M
Kc= {(5.95x10-2 )2 (3.72x10-2/1.25L)} / (2.05x 10-2 )2 = 0.250

(a) Kp = [PNH3]2 / [PN2] x [PH2]3

(b)
1. Q = 0.2242 / 0.411 x 0.9033 = 0.161
2. since Q > Kp, the equilibrium will proceed to the left to bring the value of Q
down to 3.1 x 10-4
