At -9.76 °C the concentration equilibrium constant K = 5.3 × 10 for a certain reaction. Here are some facts about the reaction: • If the reaction is run at constant pressure, the volume increases by 11.%. • If the reaction is run at constant pressure, 64.0 kJ/mol of heat are released. • The net change in moles of gases is - 1. Using these facts, can you calculate Kat 15. °C? If you said yes, then enter your answer at right. Round it to 2 significant digits. If you said no, can you at least decide whether K at 15. °C will be bigger or smaller than K at -9.76 °C? O Yes. O No. 0 Yes, and K will be bigger. Yes, and K will be smaller. No.

12.108 A nuclear engineer is considering the effect of discharging waste heat from a power plant into a lake and estimates that this may warm the water locally to 25 °C. One question to be considered is the effect of this temperature change on the uptake of CO2 by the water. The equilibrium constant for the reaction CO2+H2OH2CO3 ; is K=1.7103 at 25 °C. Because bonds form, the reaction is exothermic. (a) Will this reaction progress further toward products at higher temperatures near the water discharge with its warmer water than it would in the cooler lake water? Explain your reasoning. (b) Carbonic acid has a Kaof 2.5104 at 25 °C. What is the equilibrium constant for the CO2+2H2OHCO3+H3O+? (c) What additional factor should the engineer be considering about CO2 gas, probably before considering this reaction chemistry?
The following equilibrium is established in a closed container: C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)H=393kJmol1 How does the equilibrium shift in response to each of the following stresses?
