Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass of NH4HS present at equilibrium is 176.84 g, and the pressure of H2S at equilibrium is 3.38 atm.

Step by step solution

01

Write the equilibrium constant expression for K

The reaction is given as: \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{S}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NH}_{4}\mathrm{HS}(s)\) Since NH4HS is a solid, its concentration does not affect K. So, K expression is written in terms of the concentrations of NH3 and H2S only: \(K = \dfrac{[\mathrm{NH}_{3}][\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{S}]}{[\mathrm{NH}_{4}\mathrm{HS}]}\)
02

Convert moles into initial concentrations

Given 2.00 moles of NH3, H2S, and NH4HS in a 5.00 L vessel, we find their initial concentrations as: \([NH_3]_0 = \frac{2.00\,\text{mol}}{5.00\,\text{L}} = 0.400\,\text{M}\) \([H_2S]_0 = \frac{2.00\,\text{mol}}{5.00\,\text{L}} = 0.400\,\text{M}\) \([NH_4HS]_0 = \frac{2.00\,\text{mol}}{5.00\,\text{L}} = 0.400\,\text{M}\)
03

Construct the ICE table

The ICE table shows the initial concentrations, changes during the reaction, and equilibrium concentrations. Let "x" be the change in moles going towards the product: \(\begin{array}{c|ccc} & [NH_3] & [H_2S] & [NH_4HS]\\ \hline \text{Initial} & 0.400\,\text{M} & 0.400\,\text{M} & 0.400\,\text{M}\\ \text{Change} & -x & -x & +x\\ \text{Equilibrium} & 0.400-x & 0.400-x & 0.400+x \end{array}\)
04

Find x and the equilibrium concentrations

Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the K expression, given K = 400: \(400 = \dfrac{(0.400-x)(0.400-x)}{0.400+x}\) Solving for x, we get \(x = 0.267\,\text{M}\). Now, we can find the equilibrium concentrations: \([NH_3]_{eq} = 0.400 - 0.267 = 0.133\,\text{M}\) \([H_2S]_{eq} = 0.400 - 0.267 = 0.133\,\text{M}\) \([NH_4HS]_{eq} = 0.400 + 0.267 = 0.667\,\text{M}\)
05

Calculate the mass of NH4HS at equilibrium and the pressure of H2S

To find the mass of NH4HS at equilibrium, we can use its equilibrium concentration and the volume: Mass of NH4HS \(= (0.667\,\text{M})(5.00\,\text{L}) = 3.33\,\text{mol}\) Now we can convert moles into grams using the molar mass of NH4HS (53.11 g/mol): Mass of NH4HS \(= (3.33\,\text{mol})(53.11\,\text{g/mol}) = 176.84\,\text{g}\) To find the pressure of H2S at equilibrium, we can use the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) since H2S is a gas. We will use the equilibrium concentration of H2S and convert it back to moles: Moles of H2S \(= (0.133\,\text{M})(5.00\,\text{L}) = 0.667\,\text{mol}\) Now, we can calculate the pressure of H2S using the ideal gas law at 35.0°C (308.15 K): \(P = \frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{(0.667\,\text{mol})(0.0821\,\text{L\,atm/mol\,K})(308.15\,\text{K})}{5.00\,\text{L}} = 3.38\,\text{atm}\)
06

Final Answers

The mass of NH4HS present at equilibrium is 176.84 g, and the pressure of H2S at equilibrium is 3.38 atm.

At \(327^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) the equilibrium concentrations are \(\left[\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\right]=\) \(0.15 M,[\mathrm{CO}]=0.24 M,\) and \(\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]=1.1 M\) for the reaction $$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CO}(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)$$.Calculate \(K_{\mathrm{p}}\) at this temperature.

For the reaction \(\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{I}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{HI}(g),\) consider two possibilities: (a) you mix 0.5 mole of each reactant, allow the system to come to equilibrium, and then add another mole of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) and allow the system to reach equilibrium again, or (b) you mix 1.5 moles of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) and 0.5 mole of \(\mathrm{I}_{2}\) and allow the system to reach equilibrium. Will the final equilibrium mixture be different for the two procedures? Explain.

Methanol, a common laboratory solvent, poses a threat of blindness or death if consumed in sufficient amounts. Once in the body, the substance is oxidized to produce formaldehyde (embalming fluid) and eventually formic acid. Both of these substances are also toxic in varying levels. The equilibrium between methanol and formaldehyde can be described as follows: $$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}(aq)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(a q)$$. =Assuming the value of \(K\) for this reaction is \(3.7 \times 10^{-10},\) what are the equilibrium concentrations of each species if you start with a \(1.24 M\) solution of methanol? What will happen to the concentration of methanol as the formaldehyde is further converted to formic acid?

In which direction will the position of the equilibrium.$$2 \mathrm{HI}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{I}_{2}(g).$$,be shifted for each of the following changes? a. \(\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)\) is added. b. \(\mathrm{I}_{2}(g)\) is removed. c. \(\mathrm{HI}(g)\) is removed. d. In a rigid reaction container, some \(\operatorname{Ar}(g)\) is added. e. The volume of the container is doubled. f. The temperature is decreased (the reaction is exothermic).

A \(1.00-\mathrm{L}\) flask was filled with 2.00 moles of gaseous \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) and 2.00 moles of gaseous \(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\) and heated. After equilibrium was reached, it was found that 1.30 moles of gaseous NO was present. Assume that the reaction $$\mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{NO}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{NO}(g)$$, occurs under these conditions. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, \(K\), for this reaction.
