Chapter 16, Problem 29b

This reaction has an equilibrium constant of Kp = 2.26⨉104 at 298 K. CO(g) + 2 H2(g) ⇌ CH3OH(g) Calculate Kp for each reaction and predict whether reactants or products will be favored at equilibrium.

b. 1/2 CO(g) + H2 (g) ⇌ 1/2 CH3OH(g)

Video transcript

Hello everyone today. We are being asked to consider the following reaction. A plus B gives us C. And were given a. K. Value of 2.45 times 10 to the negative third and then were asked to calculate K. For the reverse reaction. So this is the reverse reaction, meaning our value is going to be terms of negative Whichever value that we have. So we have 2.45 times to the negative third. We're going to raise that to the negative one power Calculating that gives us a value of 408.16 as our final answer. I hope this helped and until next time.

Textbook Question

A chemist trying to synthesize a particular compound attempts two different synthesis reactions. The equilibrium constants for the two reactions are 23.3 and 2.2 * 104 at room temperature. However, upon carrying out both reactions for 15 minutes, the chemist finds that the reaction with the smaller equilibrium constant produces more of the desired product. Explain how this might be possible.
