1. Given the following reaction
H2(g) + I2 (s) = 2HI (g) ¤h = + 68.0 KJ/mol
A) write the Kc expression
KC = products / reactants
= [HI]2 / [H2]
Note: I2 is a reactant, but because it is a solid it is considered equal to 1.
B) state whether the number of moles of H2 (g) in the container will increase , decrease or remain the same after each of the following disturbances is applied to the original mixture. For each case , assume that all other variables remain constant except for the given disturbance
I) HI is removed
-Product is removed so reaction will shift right: decrease in H2.
Ii) Iodine is pulverized
-More surface area for H2 to react with: decrease in H2.
Iii) the temperature of the reaction vessel is increased
-Reaction is endothermic because heat is positive. Increase in temp shifts reaction to the right because temp can be treated like a reactant. Decrease in H2.
Iv) Volume of the reaction vessel is doubled
-When the volume increases the reaction will shift towards side with greater number of gas molecules. There are 2 gas molecules on the right, so reaction shifts towards the right. Decrease in H2.
V) The pressure is increased by adding neon gas
-When the pressure increases the reaction will shift towards side with fewer number of gas molecules. There is 1 gas molecule on the left, so ...
