A sample problem for a chemistry student to solve from the subtopic Calculating the effect of changing the temperature on the equilibrium constant could be: What would be the new equilibrium constant (Kc) for the reaction 2NOCl (g) ↔ 2NO (g) + Cl2 (g) at 400 K, if the initial equilibrium constant at 300 K is 2.50 x 10^-3? Given that the enthalpy change of the reaction (∆H) is -91.84 kJ/mol and the entropy change of the reaction (∆S) is -188.8 J/mol K.

A sample of nitrogen dioxide is placed in a container at 250°C and 1 atm, where it decomposes according to the following equation: 2NO2(g) ↔ 2NO(g) + O2(g)The initial concentration of NO2 is 0.10 M, and the equilibrium constant (Kc) at this temperature is 4.0 x 10^-3. If the volume of the container is suddenly decreased to one-half of its original volume, causing the pressure to double, what will happen to the amount of NO and O2 present at equilibrium? Calculate the new equilibrium concentrations of NO and O2.

A reaction mixture initially contained 0.1 mol/L of reactant A and 0.2 mol/L of reactant B. When a catalyst was added, the rate of conversion of A and B to the product increased significantly. Calculate the new equilibrium concentration of reactant B if the equilibrium constant of the reaction is 0.1 and the initial equilibrium concentration of the product is 0.05 mol/L. Assume that the catalyst does not change the equilibrium constant.

A chemistry student wants to understand the effect of changing the volume on the equilibrium position of a chemical reaction. Accordingly, the student designs an experiment where they mix 0.2 mol of nitrogen gas with 0.1 mol of hydrogen gas in a 1 L container and allow them to react to form ammonia gas. If the reaction reaches equilibrium at a certain temperature and the volume of the container is suddenly decreased to 0.5 L, what will be the effect on the concentration of ammonia gas?

A chemistry student wants to find out the effect on the equilibrium position when the volume of a reaction mixture is changed. They have an equilibrium mixture of hydrogen and iodine gases forming hydrogen iodide gas according to the equation:$$H_2 (g) + I_2 (g) \leftrightharpoons 2HI (g)$$At 298 K, the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 54.3. Initially, the reaction mixture contains 0.5 moles of hydrogen gas, 0.5 moles of iodine gas, and 0 moles of hydrogen iodide gas in a container of volume 2L. If the volume is reduced to 1L while maintaining the temperature at 298 K, what wi

A chemistry student wants to determine the effect of adding more reactant or product on the equilibrium position of a chemical reaction. The student has a 0.50 M solution of N2O4 and NO2 at equilibrium at 25°C, with the equation N2O4(g) <--> 2NO2(g). If the student adds more N2O4 to the reaction mixture, what will happen to the equilibrium concentration of NO2? Will it increase, decrease or stay the same? Justify your answer with a chemical equation and relevant calculations.

A chemistry student wants to determine the effect of adding a buffer to a solution containing acetic acid (CH3COOH) and its conjugate base (CH3COO-), which is in equilibrium with its ionized form (H+ and CH3COO-). The initial concentration of acetic acid is 0.2 M and the pH of the solution is 4.5. If the student adds a buffer solution containing equal amounts of acetic acid and sodium acetate (NaCH3COO), what will be the new pH of the solution and the extent of shift in equilibrium position?

A chemistry student wants to create a buffer solution with a pH of 7.2 using acetic acid and sodium acetate. The student has calculated that they need 0.1 moles of each component to make a 250 mL buffer solution. However, the student accidentally added 0.02 moles of hydrochloric acid to the buffer solution. Calculate the new pH of the buffer solution and explain if the addition of the hydrochloric acid has shifted the equilibrium position of the reaction towards the acid or the base.

A chemistry student wants to buffer a solution with a pH of 4.5. The student adds 0.1 mol of a weak acid buffer to 0.1 mol of a conjugate base. Taking the pKa value of the buffer into consideration, determine how much stronger an acid in the same buffer system would need to be added to the solution to shift the pH from 4.5 to 4.0, assuming temperature and pressure are constant.
