(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced dissociation reaction equation and the associated equilibrium constant expression for the given processes has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Balanced Chemical equation:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.
Equilibrium constant: At equilibrium the ratio of products to reactants (each raised to the power corresponding to its
For a general reaction,
The concentration of solids and pure liquids do not change, so their concentration terms are not included in the equilibrium constant expression.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given compounds the one that is more soluble has to be given along with explanation.
(c)
Interpretation:
Among the given compounds the one that is less soluble has to be given along with explanation.

- Write the expression for the equilibrium constant and calculate the partial pressure of CO2(g), given that Kp is 0.25 (at 427 C) for NaHCO3(s) NaOH(s) + CO2(g)arrow_forwardDescribe a nonchemical system that is not in equilibrium, and explain why equilibrium has not been achieved.arrow_forwardAccording to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?arrow_forward

Is it true that the value of K depends on the amounts of reactants and products mixed together initially? Explain. Is it true that reactions with large equilibrium constant values are very fast? Explain. There is only one value of the equilibrium constant for a particular system at a particular temperature, but there is an infinite number of equilibrium positions. Explain.arrow_forward
