An inorganic chemist places 1 mol of BrCl in container A and 0.5 mol of Br2 and 0.5 mol of Cl2 in container B. She seals the containers and heats them to 3000C. With time, both containers hold identical mixtures of BrCl, Br2, and Cl2.

(a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction in container A.

(b) Write the reaction quotient, Q, for this reaction.

(c) How do the values of Qin A and in B compare over time?

(d) Explain on the molecular level how it is possible for both containers to end up with identical mixtures.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. BrClgBr2g+ Cl2g
  2. Reaction Quotient, Qc :QC=Br2Cl2BrCl

c. Change in concentration will also affect Q value. As the time progress concentration decreases from its initial value and Q value also decrease.

d. Both containers are filled with exact 1 mole concentration of BrCl.

Step by step solution

01

Balanced equation

Container A is filled with 1 mol of BrCl undergoes decomposition to give Br2 and Cl2. The balanced equation is shown below:

BrClgBr2g+ Cl2g

02

Reaction quotient, Qc

Reaction quotient can be constructed by placing the concentration term of product in numerator and reactant term in denominator.

QC=Br2Cl2BrCl

03

Change in value of Q

As the reaction proceeds, there is a change in concentration until the system reaches the equilibrium. In the initial stage concentration of reactants is high and has Q value. After some time, there is a difference in concentration from its initial value. Also, there is a change in Q value. When the reaction reaches at equilibrium at a certain temperature it will equal to Q.

04

How identical mixtures possible

In container A 1 mole BrCl is converting to exactly half to its products such as Br2 and Cl2. Whereas container B holds 0.5 mol Br2 and Cl2 giving 1 mole BrCl. Thus, both containers filled with identical mixtures.

Highly toxic disulfurdecafluoride decomposes by a free radical process: S2F10(g)SF4(g)+SF6(g) . In a study of the decomposition,S2F10 was placed in a2.0 L- flask and heated to100C;[S2F10] was0.50M at equilibrium. MoreS2F10 was added, and when equilibrium was retained,[S2F10] was2.5M . How diddata-custom-editor="chemistry" [SF4]and[SF6] change from the original to the new equilibrium position after the addition of more data-custom-editor="chemistry" S2F10?

Le Ch芒telier's principle is related ultimately to the rates of the forward and reverse steps in a reaction. Explain (a) why an increase in reactant concentration shifts the equilibrium position to the right but does not change K; (b) why a decrease in V shifts the equilibrium position toward fewer moles of gas but does not change K; (c) why a rise in T shifts the equilibrium position of an exothermic reaction toward reactants and also changes K; and (d) why a rise in temperature of an endothermic reaction from T1to T2results in K2 being larger thanK1 .
