Chemical Equilibrium Questions
« on: January 05, 2008, 09:17:44 AM »
1.FeO (s) + CO (g) <-- --> Fe (s) + CO2  (g)

Kp = 0.403 at 1000°C

What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO (g) and CO2 (g) when 1.00atm of CO (g) and excess FeO (s) react in a sealed container at 1000°C?

2.A reaction is of the type: A (g) + B (g) <-- --> C (g). An unmeasured quantity of C is introduced into a 1.0dm3 container and is allowed to come to equilibrium. At this time a sample is analysed and found to be 1.0M in C. If under the conditions of the experiment the equilibrium constant Kc is 1.0 x 10^6 mol-1 dm3, what is the equilibrium concentration (in M) of B?

3.for the following equilibrium system, which of the changes will form more CaCO3?
      CO2 (g) + Ca(OH)2 (s) <-- --> CaCO3 (s) + H2O (l)  △H°=-113kJ
(a) Decrease temperature at constant pressure (no phase change)
(b) Increase volume at constant temperature
(c) Increase partial pressure of CO2
(d) Remove one-half of the initial CaCO3


Can anyone help?
THANK YOU.

Please read the Forum Rules.  You should that show you've at least attempted to answer the problem before we will help you.  However, I will give you some hints:

1)  Start with the expression for Kp in terms of the partial pressures of the reactants and products.

2)  This one is a bit tricky.  Try using an ICE table.  Or, from the reaction stoichiometry, what do you know about the concentrations of A and B?

3)  Think about Le Chatelier's principle.
