General Questions

These questions are not explicitly keyed to chapter topics; many require integration of several concepts.

Write equilibrium constant expressions, in terms of reactant and product concentrations, for each of these reactions.

Assume that all gases and solutes have initial concentrations of 1.0 mol/L. Then let the first reactant in each reaction change its concentration by -x.

(a) Using the reaction table (ICE table) approach, write equilibrium constant expressions in terms of the unknown variable x for each reaction.

(b) Which of these expressions yield quadratic equations?

(c) How would you go about solving the others for x?
