14-Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will increasing the temperature have on the system? Why?
CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) ⇌ CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) ΔH° = +890 kJ
15-Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will decreasing the temperature have on the system? Why?
C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) ⇌ 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(l) ΔH° = -2220 kJ
Coal, which is primarily carbon, can be converted to natural gas, primarily CH4, by the exothermic reaction:
C(s) + 2H2 (g) ↔ CH4 (g)
Will the following changes favor the formation of CH4 at equilibrium?
Change |
Does this form more CH4? WHY? |
Add more C to reaction mixture |
|
Add more H2 to the reaction mixture |
|
Raise the temperature of the reaction mixture |
|
Lower the volume of the reaction mixture |
|
Adding a catalyst |
|
Adding Neon gas |
