Dissociation reactions are a type of chemical reactions where a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. This is often observed in many chemical equilibria, such as the dissociation of nitrosyl bromide (NOBr) we see here. The process occurs when the compound, subjected to certain conditions, decomposes and forms other chemical species.
In our example, NOBr breaks down to form nitrogen monoxide (NO) and bromine gas (Br鈧�). This decomposition is represented by the balanced equation:

• 2 NOBr(g) \( \rightleftharpoons \) 2 NO(g) + Br鈧�(g)

Marks like 鈥淺(\rightleftharpoons\)鈥� signify that this reaction is reversible, a typical feature of dissociation reactions. When calculating how much compound dissociates, we deal with values like the percentage of dissociation, which reveals how much of the original compound has broken down.
For a 6.9% dissociation of NOBr, for example, 93.1% of the original NOBr remains unreacted. Understanding dissociation reactions helps us comprehend how chemical equilibria evolve and the extent to which original substances are transformed.

The equilibrium constant, denoted as \( K_c \), is a vital concept in understanding reactions that reach a state of chemical equilibrium. At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate, so the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant with time.
The equilibrium constant quantifies the ratio of the concentration of products to reactants, each raised to the power of their respective coefficients in the balanced equation. For our reaction:

• \( K_c = \frac{[\text{NO}]^2 [\text{Br}_2]}{[\text{NOBr}]^2} \)

Here, the square brackets denote the concentration of the molecules, while the exponents (such as the "squared" for NO) reflect the stoichiometry of the reaction.
Given this framework, a \( K_c \) value greater than 1 suggests a tendency towards product formation, while a \( K_c \) value less than 1 points to reactants being favored at equilibrium. For the nitrosyl bromide dissociation reaction, a calculated \( K_c \) of approximately 0.0007 indicates that, at equilibrium, the concentration of products (\(\text{NO} \) and \(\text{Br}_2\)) is quite small compared to the concentration of the reactant \(\text{NOBr}\). This reflects the limited extent of dissociation under the given conditions.

Stoichiometry plays an essential role in chemical reactions by helping us understand the quantitative relationships between reactants and products. It is founded on the law of conservation of mass, which implies that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
In the given dissociation reaction, stoichiometry is key to determining how much of each substance is produced or consumed. The balanced chemical equation,

• 2 NOBr(g) \( \rightleftharpoons \) 2 NO(g) + Br鈧�(g)

shows this ratio and demonstrates that two moles of NOBr yield two moles of NO and one mole of Br鈧�.
Through stoichiometry, we calculate the amount of each product formed from a given quantity of reactant. From the exercise, the dissociation of 0.26 moles of NOBr means that 0.26 moles of NO are produced and 0.13 moles of Br鈧� are formed. Understanding these relationships helps predict the yields of products and the extent to which a reaction proceeds under given conditions.
By balancing equations and following stoichiometric principles, chemists can precisely communicate the proportional relationships between all entities in a chemical reaction.
