Look at sample problem 17.10 in the 8th edition silberberg book.
the research and development unit of a chemical company is studying the reaction of methane and h2s, two components of natural gas:
ch4 (g) + 2 h2s (g) ⇋ cs2 (g) + 4 h2 (g)
in one experiment, 1.0 mol of ch4, 1.0 mol of cs2, 2.0 mol of h2s, and 2.0 mol of h2 are mixed in a 400. ml vessel at 960°c. at this temperature, kc = 225.
in which direction will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium? enter right, left, or at equilibrium,
if the concentration of methane at equilibrium is 2.0 m, what is the equilibrium concentration of h2? enter a number to 1 decimal places.

Answer : The reaction must shift to the product or right to be in equilibrium.  The equilibrium concentration of is 7.0 M

Explanation :

Reaction quotient (Qc) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

First we have to determine the concentration of .

Now we have to determine the value of reaction quotient (Qc).

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

The given equilibrium constant value is,

From the above we conclude that, the that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored that means reaction must shift to the product or right to be in equilibrium.

Now we have to calculate the concentration of at equilibrium.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

Initial conc.   2.5            5               2.5          5

At eqm.       (2.5-x)       (5-2x)       (2.5+x)    (5+4x)

The concentration of at equilibrium = 2.0 M

As we know that, at equilibrium

(2.5-x) = 2.0 M

x = 0.5 M

The concentration of at equilibrium = (5+4x) = 5 + 4(0.5) = 7.0 M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of is 7.0 M

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
