 1. The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction:

2 HBr(g) <----> H2(g) + Br2(g)
    is Kc = 1.26 x 10-12 at 500 K. This implies that:

4. The reversible reaction:

    has come to equilibrium in a vessel of specific volume and at a given temperature. Before the reaction, the concentrations of the reactants were 0.060 mol/L of SO2 and 0.050 mol/L of O2.  No SO3 was present.  After equilibrium was reached, the concentration of SO3 was 0.040 mol/L.

5. What would be the effect of decreasing the pressure by increasing the volume on the following system at equilibrium?

2 CO(g) + O2 <---> 2 CO2(g)
    a) The Kp value would get smaller.
    b) The Kp value would get larger.
    c) The equilibrium would be perturbed and would show a net shift to the left.
    d) The equilibrium would be perturbed and would show a net shift to the right.
