Question

Consider the reaction: 2H2S (g) + 3O2 (g) 2SO2 (g) + 2H2O (g) to answer the following questions.

Refer to the reaction shown above. Increasing the pressure __________.

will shift the reaction to the right

will have no effect

will shift the reaction to the left

will have an unknown effect, since the temperature is unknown

Kp = [NH3]2/[N2][H2]3

Kp = [2NH3]2/[N2][3H2]3

Kp = [N2][H2]3/[NH3]2

Kp = [N2][3H2]3/[2NH3]2

Consider the reaction: 2H2S (g) + 3O2 (g) 2SO2 (g) + 2H2O (g) to answer the following questions.

Refer to the reaction shown above. Which of the following will shift the equilibrium to the left?

adding sulfur dioxide

adding hydrogen sulfide

decreasing the pressure

both A and C

Kp = PH2S2PO23/PSO2PH2O2

Kp = PSO2PH2O2/PH2S2PO23

Kp = PSO2PH2O/PH2SPO2

Kp = PH2SPO2/PSO2PH2O

A.

will shift the reaction to the right

B.

will have no effect

C.

will shift the reaction to the left

D.

will have an unknown effect, since the temperature is unknown

Explanation / Answer

Q1.

increase in pressure favour the least mol formation

therefore, these are the products, so increases to the right

Q2

N/A

Q3

2H2S (g) + 3O2 (g) 2SO2 (g) + 2H2O (g)

addition of SO2 increases the shift to the right,

addition of H2S wil not go to the left

decrease in P --> Favours the most moles, therefore, lef tshift

chose D

Q4 N/A
