A mixture of 0.100 mol of NO, 0.050 mol of H₂ and 0.10 mol of H₂O is placed in a 1.0-L vessel at 300 K. The following equilibrium is established:

2NO(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇆ N₂(g) + 2H₂O(g).

At equilibrium [NO] = 0.062M. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of H_2, N₂ and H₂O and Keq.

Sulfur trioxide decomposes at high temperature in a sealed container according to the reaction 2SO₃(g) ⇆ 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g)

Initially, the vessel is charged at 1000 K with SO₃(g) at a partial pressure of 0.500 atm. At equilibrium the SO₃ partial pressure is 0.200 atm. Calculate the value of Kp at 1000 K.

Strategy:

Using the equilibrium table, tabulate the given initial and equilibrium partial pressures. Denote the changes in partial pressure using a variable as guided by stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation. Solve for the unknown to calculate for the equilibrium partial pressures of SO₂ and O₂ and then solve for Kp.

An aqueous solution of acetic acid is found to have the following concentrations at 25°C: [CH₃COOH] = 1.65 x 10-2 M; [H30+] = 5.44 x 10^-4 M; and [CH₃COO-] = 5.44 x 10+ M. Calculate the equilibrium at 25°C. The reaction is:

CH₃COOH(aq) + H₂O(I) ⇆ H₃O(aq) + CH₃COO-(aq)

Strategy:

Using the balanced chemical equation, write the equilibrium constant expression, Kc, then substitute the given equilibrium concentrations to it.
