Hello guys,
i want to confirm if this exercise is correct the way it is or if it can be simplified. I´m not a native speaker, so if my notation seems weird please let me know.
Here is the link with the exercise (only question 1)

1a)
Kc =
[CO2] [H2] [CO] [H20]
Kc =
[1] [1] = 1 ≠ 5.10 -> no balance
[1] [1]
b)
[H2] = 1.39
mol 10L
number [H2] = 1.39 x 6 x 10^23
= 8.34 x 10^23
number (H atoms) = 16.68 x 10^23
before (t0) number (H-atoms) = 24 x 10^23
after (t1) number (H-atoms in solution) = 24 x 10^23 - 16.68 x 10^23
-> number (H20) =
7.32 x 10^23
2
= 3.66 x 10^23 (H20 molecules)
=
3.66 mol (H20)
6.022
= 0.608 mol (H20)
ratio:
1 =
CO = 0.608 mol CO
1 H20
Kc =
Y x 1.39 = 5.1
0.608 x 0.608
Y =
5.1 x 0.370 = 1.36 mol CO2 ≈ 1.39 mol (because the ratio of H2 and C02 is 1 to 1)
1.39
c)
This reaction is exothermic to the right, so the forward reaction produces heat. If the equilibrium constant grows, so does the number of reactants and therefore they are producing even more heat/energy, that means the temperature has increased.
