For the listed hypothetical reaction

Rate (fwd) = $k_"fwd"[X][Y]$
Rate (rev) = $k_"rev"[XY]$

By the 'Law of Mass Action' ...

Rate(fwd) = Rate(rev)

=> $k_"fwd"[X][Y]$ = $k_"rev"[XY]$

=> $k_"fwd"/k_"rev"$ = $([XY])/([X][Y])$ = Constant

=> The 'Constant' is defined as the Rxn Equilibrium Constant $(K_(eq))$ and is a relative measure of 'Extent of Reaction' or, how long it takes to move through the kinetic region of the concentration vs time trend to achieve constant concentrations of reactant and product. This is the 'Equilibrium Region' where Rate of Rxn fwd equals Rate of Rxn rev.

Given a reaction that was exothermic as written, what enthalpy change would apply to the REVERSE reaction?

$CH_4(g) + 2O_2(g) rarr CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(g) + 890*kJ$ This is the standard combustion reaction. Now, ordinarily, $DeltaH$ would be listed separately as a NEGATIVE quantity, to show that the...

How do the rates of the forward and reverse reactions compare at a state of dynamic chemical equilibrium?

They are equal, and NONzero. At dynamic chemical equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal to each other, i.e. $aA + bB stackrel(k_1" ")(rightleftharpoons)...

A first order reaction has an Arrhenius constant for the reaction is $9.9 xx 10^10 sec^ -1$, and an activation energy of $"62.0 kJ"$. At what temperature (in Celsius) is the rate constant equal to $0.434 sec^-1$?

Your tool of choice here will be the Arrhenius equation, which looks like this $color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)k = A * "exp"(-E_a/(RT))color(white)(a/a)|)))" "$, where $k$ - the rate constant for a...

If the concentration of $NH_3$ (from reaction below) is changing at a rate of $0.25$ M/sec, what is the rate of change of $H_2$ (in M/sec)?

Here's an intuitive way to understand it... $"N"_2(g) + 3"H"_2(g) -> 2"NH"_3(g)$ If the change in concentration of $"NH"_3$ is $(Delta["NH"_3])/(Deltat) = "0.25 M/s"$,...

A chemical reaction always tries to go to completion, one way or the other If there is a way for the reaction to go the reverse direction, what is this process called?

And equilibrium is specified when the forward rate of reaction is equal to the reverse rate of reaction, the quotient of these rates is formalized by the thermodynamic equilibrium constant,...

At some temperature, a 100-L reaction vessel contains a mixture that is initially 1.0 mol Co and 2.0 mol H2. The vessel also contains a catalyst so that the following equilibrium is attained: CO(g) + 2H2(g) <--> CH3OH(g) At equilibrium, the mixture contains 0.100 mol CH3OH. In a later experiment in the same vessel, you start with 1.0 mol CH3OH. How much methanol is there at equilibrium?

Methanol's concentration at equilibrium is $0.001M$. Before solving for the concentration, try and intuitively imagine what will happen. Since the second experiment is done under the same conditions as the...

A mixture initially contains A, B, and C in the following concentrations: [A]=0.550 M, [B]=1.05 M, [C]=.550 M. The following reaction occurs and equilibrium is established: A+2B <-> C At equilibrium, [A]=.390 M and [C]=0.710 M. What is the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc?

First, write the balanced chemical equation with an ICE table. $color(white)(mmmmmmml)"A"color(white)(l) +color(white)(m) "2B" ⇌ "C"$ $"I/mol·L"^"-1": color(white)(ml)0.550 color(white)(mll)1.05color(white)(m)0.550$ $"C/mol·L"^"-1": color(white)(mll)"-"xcolor(white)(mml)"+"xcolor(white)(mll)"+"x$ $"E/mol·L"^"-1": color(white)(m)"0.550-"xcolor(white)(ml)xcolor(white)(mml)x$ At equilibrium, $["A"] = "0.390 mol/L" = ("0.550...

When 46g of I2 and 1g of H2 are heated to equilibrium at 450°C ,the equilibrium mixture contains 1.9g I2. How many moles of each gas present at equilibrium?Determine Kc and Kp for this reaction at the same temperature?

Start by writing the balanced chemical equation for this equilibrium reaction $"I"_text(2(g]) + "H"_text(2(g]) rightleftharpoons color(red)(2)"HI"_text(2(g])$ Notice that you have a $1:1$ between the two reactants...

A system at equilibrium is placed under stress by adding more reactant. If this reaction has a small equilibrium constant (Keq), how will the addition of this stress affect the equilibrium of this system?

I can't tell you the multiple choice answer, but that should not matter... Since $Q < K_(eq)$ after the stress, $Q uarr$ to resolve the stress by making more products....
