In this PLE we are going to investigate equilibrium reactions. (NOTE: If you can not answer a question below enter CNA.)

Important do not press the enter key or the Return key while you are answering these questions. Your Browser will interpret either key the same as clicking the mouse on the Submit button. So BE CAREFUL!

Give me some responses to the questions below and I'll give you some extra credit.

SID#:

Laboratory Section:

1. Write the equilbrium expression for the following reaction;

PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)

2. What is term used to describe K?

3. K for the reaction in Q1 has a value of 33.3 at 760 degrees Celsius. At equilibrium will the amount of products or reactants be greater? Explain

4. Write the equilibrium expression for the reaction

PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) PCl5(g)

5. What is the magnitude of K for the reaction in Q4? (Hint)

6. At equilibrium will the amount of products or reactants be greater in the equilibrium reaction described in Q4? Explain

7. Explain what the term extent of reaction means. In an equilibrium expression what quantity is a measure of extent?

8. Is there anything about the reaction or the questions that you feel you do not understand? List your concerns/questions.

After doing this PLE you should be able to do problems like 17.12 - 17.15 (an expression for Q (reaction quotient) is the same as an equilibrium expression for K), 17.16, 17.17, 17.22, 17.23.

You should also be able to PS7.1, PS7.2 and PS7.3.
