Find [Cu*] in equilibrium with CuBr(s) and 0.10MBr-.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Cu+was calculated as role="math" localid="1663330959468" 5×10-8M.

Step by step solution

01

The concept used.

Solubility Product:

The solubility product is a kind of equilibrium constant whose value depends on temperature.

02

The concentration

For given data, the equilibrium reaction is:

CuBr(s)Cu++Br-

The

Cu+Br-=KspCu+0.10=5×10-9M

Therefore,

Cu+=5×10-8M0.10Cu+=5×10-8M

The formation of tetrafluoroethylene from its elements is highly exothermic:

2F2Fluorine(g)+2C(s)GraphiteF2C=CF2(g)Tetrafluoroethylene

(a)If a mixture ofF2graphite, andC2F4is at equilibrium in a closed container, will the reaction go to the right or to the left ifF2is added?

(b) Rare bacteria from the planet Teflon eatC2F4and make Teflon for their cell walls. Will the reaction go to the right or to the left if these bacteria are added?


(c) Will the reaction go right or left if solid graphite is added? (Neglect any effect of increased pressure due to the decreased volume in the vessel when solid is added.)

(d) Will the reaction go right or left if the container is crushed to one-eighth of its original volume?

(e) Does the equilibrium constant become larger or smaller if the container is heated?

BaCl2?H2O(s)loses water when it is heated in an oven:

BaCl2H2O(s)BaCl2(s)+H2O(g)

ΔH°=63.11kJ/molat25°C

ΔS°=+148J/(Kmol)at25°C

a) Write the equilibrium constant for this reaction. Calculate the vapour pressure of gaseous H2O(PH2O) above BaCl2H2Oat 298K.

(b) If H°and S°are not temperature dependent (a poor assumption), estimate the temperature at which PH2O above BaCl2H2O(s)will be 1 bar.
