Question

I need help please: General equilibrium

6. The equilibrium constant based on concentration is Ke=190 for the reaction of carbon with hydrogen gas at 1000 K: CO(8)+3H (8) = CH.(8)+ H O(8) cola)+ 3H.lw) CHylg+Haog) a. What can you infer about the relative rates of the forward and reverse reactions when the gases have the following concentrations at this temperature? (1 point) (CO) - 1.7M [H,) - 0.83M [CH,]- 1.4M [HO] - 082M The relative rate of the forward reaction is higher than that of

Answer 1

Equilibrium constant (Kc) is wie Yotro of product of molar concentrating of Jojo out products to that of product of molar Conson- tratious of gaseous reactants to their powers raised to their stoichiometric coefficients at equilibrium. co(g) + 3H2(9) = CH (9) + H2019) Kc = (CH4] [H2O). 190 [CO] CH2}} Reactica aquotient (Qc): It is me ratio of product of molar concentratious of gaseous molar Concen- products to that of product of traticus of gaseous reactanth to tucir powers raised to their stoiclicuetric coefficients at any part of reaction,

Qc = kc = the reaction is at equilibrium, Qc = [cHu] C H₂O) [co] [Hz]} (114) (0.82) (1-7)*(0.833? - 1.81 1.148 0.972 Qc 1.181 <ke. Ke>Qc. AS Kc> a =) Me vote of Forward of rate of reaction is more than that backward reaction at loook. b) Equilibrium shifts in Forward direction, This is due to increase in concentrations of reactauts at equilibrium. According to Lechatelier's priuciple er stress (concentration, pressure, Temperature, applied at equilibrium enen equilibrium suifth the side where stress is reduced, Al concentrations (co), CH2) incredjed of equilibrium, forward reaction takes place in which there oncentration is decreated,
