Learning Check

What is Le Châtelier’s principle? Consider the reaction:


2NOCl(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Cl2(g).

If this reaction is at equilibrium, what happens when the following changes


occur?

a. NOCl(g) is added.
b. NO(g) is added.
c. NOCl(g) is removed.
d. Cl2(g) is removed.
e. The container volume is decreased.
Evaluation

After this lesson, let us now check your understanding of the Le Châtelier’s principle

1. Arsenic can be extracted from its ores by first reacting the ore with oxygen
(called roasting) to form solid As4O6, which is then reduced using carbon:

As4O6(s) + 6C(s) ⇌ As4(g) + 6CO(g)

Predict the direction of the shift of the equilibrium position in response to each of the
following changes in conditions.

a. Addition of carbon monoxide

b. Addition or removal of carbon or tetraarsenic hexoxide (As4O6)

c. Removal of gaseous arsenic (As4)

2. For each of the following reactions, predict how the value of K changes as the
temperature is increased.

a. N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)


b. 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g)
ΔH° = 181 kJ
ΔH° = -198 kJ

3. How will an increase in temperature affect each of the following equilibria?


How will a decrease in the volume of the reaction vessel affect each?

a. 2H2O(g) ⇌ 2H2(g) + O2(g) ΔH° = 484 kJ

b. N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g) ΔH° = -92.2 kJ

c. 2Br(g) ⇌ Br2(g) ΔH° = -224 kJ


4. Consider the following exothermic reaction at equilibrium:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

Predict how the following changes affect the number of moles of each component of the
system after equilibrium is reestablished by completing the table below. Complete the
table with the terms increase, decrease, or no change.

N2 H2 NH3
Add N2(g)
Remove H2(g)
Add NH3(g)
Increase the temperature
Decrease the volume (constant T)
Add a catalyst
