The following three are possible unknowns. In the table, predict how long it will take for the reaction to occur. How long for reaction to occur? HO OH OH

What happens to the reactants in an ineffective molecular collision?

7-17 If a certain reaction takes 16 h to go to completion at 10°C, what temperature should we run it if we want it to go to completion in 1 h?

Calculate G for the dissolution of both sodium chloride and silver chloride using data from Appendix E. Explain how the values you obtain relate to the solubility rules for these substances.

When a mixture of hydrogen and bromine is maintained at normal atmospheric pressure and heated above 200. °C in a closed container, the hydrogen and bromine react to form hydrogen bromide and a gas-phase equilibrium is established. Write a balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium reaction. Use bond enthalpies from Table 6.2 ( Sec. 6-6b) to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), which is more important in determining the position of this equilibrium, the entropy effect or the energy effect? In which direction will the equilibrium shift as the temperature increases above 200. °C? Explain. Suppose that the pressure were increased to triple its initial value. In which direction would the equilibrium shift? Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?

The following data apply to the unbalanced equation A(g)B(g) (a) On the basis of the data, balance the equation (simplest whole-number coefficients). (b) Has the system reached equilibrium? Explain.

. Hydrogen gas and chlorine gas in the presence of light react explosively to form hydrogen chloride H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)The reaction is strongly exothermic. Would an increase in temperature for the system lend to favor or disfavor the production of hydrogen chloride?

The only stress (change) that also changes the value of K is a change in temperature. For an exothermic reaction, how does the equilibrium position change as temperature increases, and what happens to the value of K? Answer the same questions for an endothermic reaction. If the value of K increases with a decrease in temperature, is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Explain.
