Le Chtelier noted that many industrial processes of his time could be improved by an understanding of chemical equilibria. For example, the reaction of iron oxide with carbon monoxide was used to produce elemental iron and CO2 according to the reaction Fe2O31s2 + 3 CO1g2 2 Fe1s2 + 3 CO21g2 Even in Le Chteliers time, it was noted that a great deal of CO was wasted, expelled through the chimneys over the furnaces. Le Chtelier wrote, Because this incomplete reaction was thought to be due to an insufficiently prolonged contact between carbon monoxide and the iron ore [oxide], the dimensions of the furnaces have been increased. In England, they have been made as high as 30 m. But the proportion of carbon monoxide escaping has not diminished, thus demonstrating, by an experiment costing several hundred thousand francs, that the reduction of iron oxide by carbon monoxide is a limited reaction. Acquaintance with the laws of chemical equilibrium would have permitted the same conclusion to be reached more rapidly and far more economically. What does this anecdote tell us about the equilibrium constant for this reaction?

In addition, Ag+1aq2 can react with Cl -1aq2 according to the reaction Ag+1aq2 + 2 Cl -1aq2 AgCl2 -1aq2 where Kc = 1.8 * 105 at 25 C. Although AgCl is not soluble in water, the complex AgCl2 - is soluble. At 25 C, is the solubility of AgCl in a 0.100 M NaCl solution greater than the solubility of AgCl in pure water, due to the formation of soluble AgCl2 - ions? Or is the AgCl solubility in 0.100 M NaCl less than in pure water because of a Le Chtelier-type argument? Justify your answer with calculations. (Hint: Any form in which silver is in solution counts as solubility.)

The protein hemoglobin (Hb) transports O2 in mammalian blood. Each Hb can bind 4 O2 molecules. The equilibrium constant for the O2 binding reaction is higher in fetal hemoglobin than in adult hemoglobin. In discussing protein oxygen-binding capacity, biochemists use a measure called the P50 value, defined as the partial pressure of oxygen at which 50% of the protein is saturated.

Use these data to estimate how much larger Kc is for the aqueous reaction 4 O21g2 + Hb1aq2 3Hb1O2241aq24.

In England, they have been made as high as 30 m. But the proportion of carbon monoxide escaping has not diminished, thus demonstrating, by an experiment costing several hundred thousand francs, that the reduction of iron oxide by carbon monoxide is a limited reaction.

At 1200 K, the approximate temperature of automobile exhaust gases (Figure 15.15), \(K_{p}\) for the reaction \(2 C O_{2}(g) \leftrightarrow 2 C O(g)+O_{2}(g)\) is about \(1 \times 10^{-13}\). Assuming that the exhaust gas (total pressure 1 atm) contains 0.2% CO, 12% \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\), and 3% \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) by volume, is the system at equilibrium with respect to the \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) reaction? Based on your conclusion, would the CO concentration in the exhaust be decreased or increased by a catalyst that speeds up the \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) reaction? Recall that at a fixed pressure and temperature, volume % = mol %. Equation transcription: Text transcription: K_{p} 2 C O_{2}(g) \leftrightarrow 2 C O(g)+O_{2}(g) 1 \times 10^{-13} \mathrm{CO}_{2}

Problem 92AE Suppose that you worked at the U S. Patent Office and a patent application came across your desk claiming that a newly developed catalyst was much superior to the Haber catalyst for ammonia synthesis because the catalyst led to much greater equilibrium conversion of N2 and H2 into NH3 than the Haber catalyst under the same conditions. What would be your response?

Problem 93IE Consider the reaction 104 -(aq) + 2 H20(/) - H4I06 -(aq); Kc = 3.5 x 10-2. If you start with 25.0 mL of a 0.905 M solution of Nal04, and then dilute it with water to 500.0 mL, what is the concentration of H4I06 - at equilibrium?

Problem 94IE Silver chloride, AgCI(s), is an "insoluble" strong electrolyte (a) Write the equation for the dissolution of AgCI(s) in H20(/). (b) Write the expression for Kc for the reaction in part (a), (c) Based on the thermochemical data in Appendix C and Le Chatelier's principle, predict whether the solubility of AgCI in H20 increases or decreases with increasing temperature, (d) The equilibrium constant for the dissolution of AgCI in water is 1.6 x 10-10 at 25 °C. In addition, Ag+(aq) can react with Cl-(ag) according to the reaction Ag+(ag) + 2 Cl-(ag) - AgCI2 -(aq) where Kc= 1.8 x 105 at 25 °C. Although AgCI is "not soluble" in water, the complex AgCI2 - is soluble. At 25 °C, is the solubility of AgCI in a 0.100 M NaCI solution greater than the solubility of AgCI in pure water, due to the formation of soluble AgCI2 - ions? Or is the AgCI solubility in 0.100 M NaCI less than in pure water because of a Le Chatelier-type argument? Justify your answer with calculations. (Hint Any form in which silver is in solution counts as "solubility ")

Consider the equilibrium \(A \leftrightarrow B\) in which both the forward and reverse reactions are elementary (single-step) reactions. Assume that the only effect of a catalyst on the reaction is to lower the activation energies of the forward and reverse reactions, as shown in Figure 15.14. Using the Arrhenius equation (Section 14.5), prove that the equilibrium constant is the same for the catalyzed reaction as for the uncatalyzed one.

Problem 100IE The protein hemoglobin (Hb) transports 02 in mammalian blood. Each Hb can bind 4 02 molecules. The equilibrium constant for the 02 binding reaction is higher in fetal hemoglobin than in adult hemoglobin. In discussing protein oxygen-binding capacity, biochemists use a measure called the P50 value, defined as the partial pressure of oxygen at which 50% of the protein is saturated. Fetal hemoglobin has a P50 value of 19 torr. and adult hemoglobin has a P50 value of 26.8 torr. Use these data to estimate how much larger Kc is for the aqueous reaction 4 02(g) + Hb(ag) -»? [Hb(02)4(ag)] in the fetal bloodstream.
