 Show your work.  Messy or sloppy work will not be graded.  Remember that not all equations on this exam are shown balanced  Equations you may find useful:

+ - -14 - pKa = -log Ka [H ][OH ] = 1x10 pOH = -log [OH ] + -14 pH = -log [H ] pH + pOH =14 Ka.Kb = Kw (1x10 )

(2) (3 points) At 200 °C, nitrogen oxide reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide as follows:

6 2NO + O2 2NO2, Kc = 3 x 10

If a mixture of these three gases contains 0.10 M NO, 0.10 M NO2, and 0.01 M O2, then we can accurately predict that the reaction:

(a) is at equilibrium and the reaction will not shift in either direction. (b) is not at equilibrium and will shift from left to right to reach equilibrium. (c) is not at equilibrium and will shift from right to left to reach equilibrium. (d) is not at equilibrium but insufficient information is given to predict direction of shift. (e) the reaction rate from right to left is greater than the reaction rate from left to right.

CHEM 1212, Spring 2008 1 Exam #2; 3/5/08 (3) (3 points) Consider the reaction of CO(g) + H2O(g) ⇄ CO2(g) + H2(g). This reaction has a H = -435 kJ/mol. How will the amount of H2O at equilibrium be affected by increasing the reaction temperature?

CHEM 1212, Spring 2008 3 Exam #2; 3/5/08 (10) (7 points) Equilibrium constants can be used in terms of concentrations or partial pressures. In these cases, the equilibrium constants are shown by Kc and Kp,

respectively. In most cases, Kc  Kp. However, in some cases, these two are equal. Answer the following:
