Interpretation:
The concentration of all species after the attainment of equilibrium in the following reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The condition of equilibrium is a state of balance of processes that runs in opposite directions. At equilibrium, the formation of a product from the reactant balances the formation of reactant from the product. Also, the change in concentration of reaction and product seems to be negligible at equilibrium state.
The general equilibrium reaction is as follows:
Here,
The expression of the equilibrium constant for the above reaction is as follows:
Here,

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- Because calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid. What are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?arrow_forwardIn a solution with carbon tetrachloride as the solvent, the compound VCl4. undergoes dimerization: 2VCl4V2Cl8 When 6.6834 g VCl4. is dissolved in 100.0 g carbon tetrachloride, the freezing point is lowered by 5.97C. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the dimerization of VCl4 at this temperature. (The density of the equilibrium mixture is 1.696 g/cm3, and Kf = 29.8C kg/mol for CCl4.)arrow_forwardUse the solubility product constant from Appendix F to determine whether a precipitate will form if 10.0 mL of 1.0 106 M iron(II) chloride is added to 20.0 mL of 3.0 104 M barium hydroxide.arrow_forward

Is it true that the value of K depends on the amounts of reactants and products mixed together initially? Explain. Is it true that reactions with large equilibrium constant values are very fast? Explain. There is only one value of the equilibrium constant for a particular system at a particular temperature, but there is an infinite number of equilibrium positions. Explain.arrow_forward
