It is OK to use your textbook or lecture notes from class, but if you can answers the questions without it that is OK too.

Do not press the RETURN or ENTER key while you are answering these questions. Your browser will interpret either the same as clicking on the Submit key.

Answer all of the questions below. If you do not know an answer enter CNA. However, it will help me the most if you answer each question with your best intuition/idea about what would be a reasonable answer.

1. Given the reaction

2NO(g) + Br2(g) 2NOBr(g)

a) Write the equilibrium expression for the reaction.

Kc =

2. The magnitude for the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 4.17.

a) look at the equilibrium expression and the chemical equation; which side, the reactants or the products will have the larger concentration(s) at equilibrium?

Briefly, explain your reasoning

3a. Given the magnitude of the equilibrium constant for the reaction in Q1 is 4.17, calculate the value (magnitude) of K for the reaction,

2NOBr(g) 2NO(g) + Br2(g)

K =

b) Calculate the value (magnitude) of K for the reaction,

NO(g) + 1/2Br2(g) NOBr(g)

K =

4. A vessel initially has a concentration of NO equal to 0.526 M and a concentration of Br2 equal to 0.329 M. An ICE table has been constructed based on this information.

Equilibrium Concentration

     

a) When the reaction is allowed to proceed to equilibrium the concentration of Br2 is found to be 0.203 M. Calculate the concentration of Br2 reacting and enter the number in the field in the ICE table below.
