QUESTION ANSWER

1.

Describe the three parts of an ICE chart.

1.

     I = initial concentrations;

    C = change in concentrations;

    E = equilibrium concentrations

3.

3 O 2 (g) 2 O 3 (g) 0.075  M

3.

  3O2
2O3
I 0.075   0
C −3x +2x
E 0.075 − 3x +2x

 

5.

CH 4 (g) + 2O 2 (g) CO 2 ( g ) + 2H 2 O( ) 0.0060 M 0.05 5 M

 

5.

  CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O
I 0.0060   0.055   0   0
C x −2x +x
E 0.0060 − x 0.055 − 2x +x

7.

HCN(g) 2.00 M HNC(g) K eq = 4.50

7.

[HCN] = 0.364 M; [HNC] = 1.64 M

9.

Determine the equilibrium concentrations for this chemical reaction with the given Keq.

N 2 O 3 ( g ) 0.0663 M NO(g) + NO 2 (g) K eq = 2.50

9.

[N2O3] = 0.0017 M; [NO] = [NO2] = 0.0646 M

11.

Determine the equilibrium concentrations for this chemical reaction with the given Keq.

H 2 S(g) 0.882 M H 2 (g) + S(s) K eq = 0.055

11.

[H2S] = 0.836 M; [H2] = 0.046 M
