If wet silver carbonate is dried in a stream of hot air. the air must have a certain concentration level of carbon dioxide to prevent silver carbonate from decomposing by the reaction Ag2CO3(s)Ag2O(s)+CO2(g) H for this reaction is 79.14 kJ/mol in the temperature range of 25 to 125C.

12.108 A nuclear engineer is considering the effect of discharging waste heat from a power plant into a lake and estimates that this may warm the water locally to 25 °C. One question to be considered is the effect of this temperature change on the uptake of CO2 by the water. The equilibrium constant for the reaction CO2+H2OH2CO3 ; is K=1.7103 at 25 °C. Because bonds form, the reaction is exothermic. (a) Will this reaction progress further toward products at higher temperatures near the water discharge with its warmer water than it would in the cooler lake water? Explain your reasoning. (b) Carbonic acid has a Kaof 2.5104 at 25 °C. What is the equilibrium constant for the CO2+2H2OHCO3+H3O+? (c) What additional factor should the engineer be considering about CO2 gas, probably before considering this reaction chemistry?
Indicate whether each statement below is true or false. If a statement is false, rewrite it to produce a closely related statement that is true. For a given reaction, the magnitude of the equilibrium constant is independent of temperature. If there is an increase in entropy and a decrease in enthalpy when reactants in their standard states are converted to products in their standard states, the equilibrium constant for the reaction must be negative. The equilibrium constant for the reverse of a reaction is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant for the reaction itself. For the reaction H2O2(ℓ) ⇌ H2O(ℓ) + O2(g) the equilibrium constant is one half the magnitude of the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2H2O2(ℓ) ⇌ 2H2O(ℓ) + O2(g)
