We need to presume that the reaction goes to completion.

The equation is N2 + 3Cl2 --> 2 NCl3

Using Avogadro's and Dalton's laws, the partial pressures can be treated as, essentially, molar ...

  • Why Low Pressure is Used in the Freeze-Drying Process

    For example: Changing concentrations by adding or removing products or reactants to the reaction vessel. Changing partial pressure of gaseous reactants and products. Changing the temperature.

  • Calculating the Equilibrium Constant: Change in Free Energy

    One approach is to make a table of reaction equivalents of reactants and products, defining a "reaction equivalent" as the amount (moles or partial pressure) of each substance by its stoichiometric coefficient.

  • Calculating Partial Pressures in Equilibrium

    For this problem, you need to set up an equilibrium expression with the pressure of the products on the top and the pressure of the reactants on the bottom: To solve for the partial pressures, you can assume that the original 0.760 atm of pressure

  • shift of equilibrium when the volume of container decreases

    In (III), there are 1 mole of gas in the reactant and 2 moles of gases in the products side, the equilibrium shifts to the left side since the increase of partial pressures in the products are more significant.

  • Equilibrium and Change in Pressure

    Use Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures (using equilibrium pressure 0.3 atm @ 0 degrees C) to solve for the individual partial pressures of each species. 5) Use partial pressures to solve for Kp (products over reactants). 6) Repeat for temp @ 25

  • PCl5 in a heated glass bulb

    Let Px, Py and Pz be the partial pressures of PCl5, PCl3 and Cl2. For every 'x' mol of PCl3 that forms, 'x' mol of CL2 should also form. Hence Py =Pz Total pressure = 0.895 atm.

  • Blood and hemoglobin

    Without hemoglobin, oxygen would only be dissolved in the blood based on its partial pressure and solubility. Oxygen is a gas that can exert an amount of partial pressure that is a measure of the partial concentration of oxygen in the gas.
