Group Activity: Quantitative Equilibrium

The Equilibrium Constant

For problem one, write the expression for the equilibrium constant for each of the reactions. For problem two, from the data provided, calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the reactions listed in problem one. Two of the problems require you to find the concentration of one of the chemicals in the equation given the other concentrations and the equilibrium constant.

1)
  1. H2 + Cl2 ↔ 2HCl
  2. 2SO2 + O2 ↔ 2SO3
  3. N2 + 3H2 ↔ 2NH3
  4. 2CO + O2 ↔ 2CO2
  5. N2 + ½ O2 ↔ N2O
  6. HCN ↔ H+ + CN–
  7. H2SO4 ↔ H+ + HSO4–

2)
  1. [H2] = [Cl2] = 1.0 × 10–2 M;
    [HCl] = 1.0 × 10–4 M
    This is read: “The concentration of hydrogen gas equals the concentration of chlorine gas equals 1.0 × 10–2 M; The concentration of HCl is 1.0 × 10–4 M”
  2. [H2] = 2.0 × 10–2 M; [Cl2] = 2.5 × 10–2 M;
    [HCl] = 1.5 × 10–3 M
  3. [SO2] = 1.0 × 10–3 M; [O2] = 2.0 × 10–3 M;
    [SO3] = 3.0 × 10–3 M
  4. [N2] = 4.4 × 10–2 M; [H2] = 1.2 × 10–1 M;
    [NH3] = 3.4 × 10–3 M
  5. [N2] = 0.25 M; [H2] = 0.10 M;
    [NH3] = 0.010 M
  6. [CO] = 0.5 M; [O2] = 0.5 M;
    [CO2] = 2.5 M
  7. Find [SO3] if [O2] = 2.4 × 10–3 M;
    [SO2] = 4.1 × 10–4 M
    and Kc = 4.5 × 103
  8. Find [CO] if [O2] = 1.3 × 10–3 M;
    [CO2] = 2.5 x 10–4 M
    and Kc = 3.6 x 10–3

3)
  1. Ag2CO3(s) ↔ 2Ag+(aq) + CO32–(aq)
  2. AgCl(s) ↔ Ag+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
  3. BaSO4(s) ↔ Ba2+(aq) + SO42–(aq)
  4. CaSO4(s) ↔ Ca2+(aq) + SO42–(aq)
  5. Ca3(PO4)2(s) ↔ 3Ca2+(aq) + 2PO43–(aq)
  6. FeS(s) ↔ Fe2+(aq) + S2–(aq)
  7. Fe(OH)3(s) ↔ Fe3+(aq) + 3OH–(aq)
4)
  1. [Ag+] = 2.0 × 10–2 M; [CO32–] = 2.1 × 10–8 M;
    Ksp = ?

    Ksp = ?
  3. [Ba2+] = 1.03 × 10–5 M; [SO42–] = 1.03 × 10–5 M;
    Ksp = ?
  4. [Ca2+] = 8.43 × 10–3 M; [SO42–] = 8.43 × 10–3 M;
    Ksp = ?
  5. [Ca2+] = 6.78 × 10–5 M; [PO43–] = 6.64 × 10–21 M;
    Ksp = ?
  6. [Fe3+] = 9.36 × 10–15 M; [OH–] = 6.56 × 10–9 M;
    Ksp = ?
