Sample Test #2 (For Mulptiple Choice Version ,see Sample Exam 2B)

1.   Write the equilibrium expression for Kp for each of the following reactions:

            a. 2H2S(g)        +      3O2(g)           Û         2H2O(g)      +      2SO2(g)

            b.      Zn(s)           +          2HCl(g)            Û        ZnCl2(s)     +             H2(g)

2.  The equilibrium constant is 0.900 at 25°C for the reaction

            H2O(g)    +    Cl2O(g)              Û             2HOCl(g),

 if the pressures of the gaseous species are  200 torr for H2O, 49.8 torr for Cl2O and 21.0  torr for HOCl, is the system at equilibrium?  If not, in what direction will the reaction move (to left or to right) to achieve equilibrium?

3.   At 460°C, the reaction

            SO2(g)     +    NO2(g)       Û        NO(g)      +       SO3(g)

has Kp = 85.0. What will be the equilibrium partial pressures of the four gases if a mixture of SO2 and NO2 is prepared in which they both have initial partial pressures of 0.125 atm?

4. Given SO2(g)     +     NO2(g)       Û      SO3(g)        +      NO(g)    DH = - 32 kJ
