The table below contains information about samples of four different gases at 273 K. The samples are in
four identical rigid containers numbered 1 through 4.
1. Under the conditions given, consider containers 1, 2, and 4 only. The average speed of the gas
particles is
A. greatest in container 1
B. greatest in container 2
C. greatest in container 4
D. the same in containers 1, 2, and 4
3. On the basis of the data provided above, the gas in container 3 could be
A. CH4
B. O2
C. Ar
D. CO2
The synthesis of CH3OH(g) from CO(g) and H2(g) is represented by the equation above. The value
of Kc for the reaction at 483 K is 14.5.
4. A 1.0 mol sample of CO(g) and a 1.0 mol sample of H2(g) are pumped into a rigid, previously
evacuated 2.0 L reaction vessel at 483 K. Which of the following is true at equilibrium?
A. [H2] = 2[CO]
B. [H2] < [CO]
C. [CO] = [CH3OH] < [H2]
D. [CO] = [CH3OH] = [H2]
5. Which of the following explains the effect on the equilibrium constant, Kc, when the temperature of
the reaction system is increased to 650 K?
A. Kc will increase because the activation energy of the forward reaction increases more than that of
the reverse reaction.
B. Kc will increase because there are more reactant molecules than product molecules.
C. Kc will decrease because the reaction is exothermic.
D. Kc is constant and will not change.
