For the equilibrium 2NO(g) N₂(g) + O₂(g) , if Kc = 4 and initial concentration of NO is 0.4 M with no products, what is

Let [N₂] = [O₂] = x , [NO] = 0.4 - 2x . Kc = ([N₂][O₂]/[NO]²) = (x²/(0.4 - 2x)²) = 4 . Taking square root, (x/0.4 - 2x) = 2 , x = 0.8 - 4x , 5x = 0.8 , x = 0.16 M .

In the equilibrium N₂(g) + O₂(g) 2NO(g) , adding an inert gas at constant pressure will shift the equilibrium in which d

Adding an inert gas at constant pressure decreases the partial pressures of reactants and products. Since Δ n = 0 (2 mol reactants = 2 mol products), there is no shift.

For the equilibrium CO(g) + H₂O(g) CO₂(g) + H₂(g) , if the initial concentrations of CO and H₂O are 0.2 M each and at eq

At equilibrium, [CO] = [H₂O] = 0.2 - 0.08 = 0.12 M , [CO₂] = [H₂] = 0.08 M . Thus, Kc = ([CO₂][H₂]/[CO][H₂O]) = ((0.08)²/(0.12)²) = (0.0064/0.0144) ≈ 0.444 .

For 2A(g) B(g) + C(g) , Kc = 0.04 at 300 K. If 0.8 mol A is in a 2 L vessel, what is [B] at equilibrium?

Initial: [A] = 0.4 M , [B] = [C] = 0 . Let x = [B] = [C] , [A] = 0.4 - 2x . Kc = ([B][C]/[A]²) = (x²/(0.4 - 2x)²) = 0.04 , (x/0.4 - 2x) = 0.2 , x = 0.08 - 0.4x , x ≈ 0.057 M .

A weak acid HX has Ka = 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ . What is the pH of a solution made by mixing 0.1 M HX and 0.05 M NaX ?

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch: pH = pKa + log ([X-]/[HX]) , pKa = -log(2.5 × 10⁻⁶) ≈ 5.6 , ([X-]/[HX]) = (0.05/0.1) = 0.5 , pH = 5.6 + log 0.5 = 5.6 - 0.301 = 5.3 .
