F2⇌2F        Kc=1.2×10−4F_2 \rightleftharpoons 2F\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_c=1.2\times 10^{-4}
What are [F2] and [F] at equilibrium?
Equilibrium: Reaction Quotient
Silver chloride will react with acetic acid to form the complex ion silver acetate. A reaction mixture is prepared by adding 0.25 g of AgCl to a 1.25 L solution that already contains 4.6×10‐6M Ag(CH3COO)(aq), 2.3×10‐3M Cl-, 1.1×10‐8M H+, and 0.010M CH3COOH. Based on this information, which of the statements below is true?
AgCl(s)+CH3COOH(aq)⇌Ag(CH3COO)(aq)+Cl−(aq)+H+(aq)K=5.87×10−16AgCl(s)+CH_3 COOH(aq)⇌Ag(CH_3 COO)(aq)+Cl^- (aq)+H^+ (aq)\qquad K = 5.87×10^{-16}
After allowing this solution to rest for some time:
The reaction for the reforming of methane from steam is given by:
CH4(g)+H2O(g)⇌CO(g)+3H2(g)CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)⇌CO(g)+3H_2(g)
A closed reaction vessel starts with initial concentrations of 1.00 M for every gas. After reaching equilibrium at a particular temperature, the final CO concentration was measured to be 0.80 M. Determine KC for this reaction at this temperature.
