- 7-32 A particular reaction has an equilibrium constant of 1.13 under one set of conditions and an equilibrium constant of 1.72 under a different set of conditions. Which conditions would be more advantageous in an industrial process that sought to obtain the maximum amount of products? Explain.arrow_forward7-64 As we shall see in Chapter 20, there are two forms of glucose, designated alpha and betawhich are in equilibrium in aqueous solution. The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.5 at 30°C. (a) If you begin with a fresh 1.0 M solution of D-glucose in water, what will be its concentration when equilibrium is reached? (b) Calculate the percentage of glucose and of glucose present at equilibrium in aqueous solution at 30°C.arrow_forward7-40 Is there any change in conditions that change the equilibrium constant, K, of a given reaction?arrow_forward
- Colorless N2O4 gas decomposes to form red-brown colored NO2 gas. Describe how the concentrations of N2O4 and NO2 would change increase or decrease as equilibrium was established in a sealed container that initially contained only N2O4. What observation would indicate that equilibrium had been established?arrow_forward7-29 The following reaction was allowed to reach equilibrium at 25°C. Under each component is its equilibrium concentration. Calculate the equilibrium constant, K, for this reaction.arrow_forward. Equilibrium may be defined as the ________ of two processes, one of which is the opposite of the other.arrow_forward
- . What does it mean to say that a state of chemical or physical equilibrium is dynamic?arrow_forwardConsider the following equilibrium constants. Describe how you would expect the equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products to compare with each other larger than, smaller than, etc. for each case. a. K=2.1106 b. K=0.15 c. K=1.2108 d. K=0.00036arrow_forwardConsider an equilibrium mixture of four chemicals (A. B. C. and D. all gases) reacting in a closed flask according to the following equation: A+BC+Da. You add more A to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is re-established? Justify your answer. h. You have the original set-up at equilibrium, and add more D to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is re-established? Justify your answer.arrow_forward
- . Many sugars undergo a process called mutarotation, in which the sugar molecules interconvert between two isomeric forms, finally reaching an equilibrium between them. This is true for the simple sugar glucose, C6H12O6, which exists in solution in isomeric forms called alpha-glucose and beta-glucose. If a solution of glucose at a certain temperature is analyzed, and it is found that the concentration of alpha-glucose is twice the concentration of beta-glucose, what is the value of K for the inter-conversion reaction?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between homogeneous equilibrium and heterogeneous equilibrium?arrow_forward
