Chemsheets AS 1215 QC Equilibria D ANS
2 A and B react to form C and D in an equilibrium in a closed system. At temperature T, the equilibrium
constant Kc has a value of 4.72. The forward reaction is exothermic.
–1
A(g) + B(g) ⇌ C(g) + D(g) ΔH = –57 kJ mol
a What would happen to the yield of C and Kc if the pressure was increased. Explain your answer.
equilibrium position does not move as there are same number of gas particles on each side
no effect on yield of C
no change in Kc
b What would happen to the yield of C and Kc if the temperature was increased. Explain your answer.
c 2.0 moles of A and 2.0 moles of B were placed in a flask at temperature T. Calculate the number of
moles of C in the equilibrium mixture.
