4. For the reaction, 2SO2 (g) + O2 ↔ 2SO3 (g) , the equilibrium concentrations of the sulfur oxides are [SO2] = 2.00 and the [SO3] = 10.0 What is the equilibrium concentration of oxygen when the Keq is 800.0 for the reaction?

Answer [O2] =0.0312 M

5. Determine the equilibrium concentration when 1.00 mole of I2 and 1.00 mole of H2 are initially placed in a 5.0 Liter container and produce HI. At the reaction temperature the Keq is 6.4 x 10-6 (HINT – use an icebox. Drop x in (0.20 –x) since x is so small compared to the other values in the problem)

Answer x= 2.5 x10 -4 , H2= .20 – x = .20, I2 = .20 – x = .20, HI = 2X = 5.0 x 10-4M

6. At a specific temperature, 0.750 mole of each reactant (CO2 (g) and H2O(g)) is added to a 1.0 Liter container. At equilibrium, the [CO2 (g)] is 0.0210. What is the value of Keq for the reaction?

(Product is H2CO3 (aq)) Answer – Keq = 1650

7. The Keq is 4.20 x 10 -6 for the equilibrium reaction PCl5 (g) ↔ PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g) . Determine the equilibrium concentration of all the species if the initial concentration of the PCl5 is 0.0500M(HINT – use an icebox. Drop x in (0.0 500–x) since x is so small compared to the other values in the problem)

Answer [PCl5] = .0495 M [PCl3] = 4.58 X 10 -4 M [Cl2] = 4.58 x 10 -4M
