How would you change the volume of the reaction container that holds the following reaction in order to increase the yield of SF6? S(s) + 3 F2(g) ↔ SF6(g)
1) Decrease the volume of the container. 2) Increase the volume of the container. 3) Do not change the volume of the container. 4) Cannot be predicted.\
How does an increase in temperature affect the equilibrium
concentration of C and the equilibrium constant for the following
reaction?
2 A(g) + B(g) ↔ 3 C(g) +
D(g)
ΔH° = - 100 kJ
[C] will increase and the equilibrium constant will increase. | |

S(s) + 3 F2(g) ↔ SF6(g)
mol of GAS in products = 1
mol of GAS in reactats = 3
then, if we want to increase SF6, we need to favour products
we do this by increasing pressure, since pressurized systems favour the side with the LEAST moles
we can do this by decreasing th evolume
1) Decrease the volume of the container.
2)
this is exothermic, meaning it releases heat (as products form)
if we increase T, we favour the left side, which the reverse is endothermic
therefore
expect concnetation of C to drop
[C] will decrease and the equilibrium constant will decrease. |
NOTE: the equilibrium CONSTANT, does not increases/decreases... they are probably talking about the reaction quotient Q, then
