Chemical Equilibrium

Calculating concentrations at equilibrium

NOCL(g) decomposes to from nitrogen monoxide gas and chlorine gas. The equation is

2NOCL ----> 2NO +Cl2

At a certain temperature the equilibrium constant is 1.60 x 10^-6. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of all gases if 0.800 moles of NOCL are placed in a 2.00 L container.

I was hoping someone could look over my answer and let me know if it's correct and if not where did I go wrong.

My answer

The NOCL decreases by 2x, CL2 increases by x and NO increases by 2x.

1.60 x 10^-6 = (2x)^2(x)/ (0.4)^2

1.60 x 10^-6 = 4x^3/(0.16)

1.60 x 10^-6 = (0.16) =x^3/ 4

X^3= 6.4 x 10^-8

X=cube root of 6.4 x 10^-8

X = 3.9 x 10^-3

The concentration of the gases

[NOCL] = 0.4 mol/L

[Cl] x = 3.9 x 10^-3

 [NO]^2 2x= 2x 3.9 x 10^-3 = 7.8x10^-3

solution to an equillibrium problem

The equilibrium constant, K_{\rm c}, for the equilibrium
{\rm{N}}_2 {\rm{O}}_4 \left( g \right)\mathop {}\limits \overrightarrow{\leftarrow}2{\rm{NO}}_2 \left( g \right)
is 4.6\times 10^{-3};If the equilibrium mixture contains 7.0×10−2{\rm M}{\rm NO}_{2}, what is the concentration of {\rm N}_{2}{\rm O}_{4}?
i also need help with this other question

An equilibrium mixture at 225^{\circ}{\rm C} contains

0.16{\rm M}{\rm NH}_{3} and 0.23{\rm M}{\rm H}_{2} for the reaction
3{\rm{H}}_2 \left( g \right) + {\rm{N}}_2 \left( g \right)\overrightarrow{\leftarrow}\mathop {}\limits  2{\rm{NH}}_3 \left( g \right); If the K_{\rm c} at this temperature is 1.7\times 10^2, what is the equilibrium concentration of {\rm N}_{2}?

Equilibrium and how to plug numbers into the formula!

I'm confused on a question that has 2H2S <===> 2 H2 + S2, they give you the moles of H2S (2.00 mol) and of 2H2 (1.00 mol) with equilibrium at a temp. of 1.62 x 10^-2 in a 2.00 liter flask. And it wants to know how many moles of S2 will be found, I'm totally lost of what numbers go where and if the information is needed?? Also my instrutor uses a method or chart called RICE which stands for

R-Reaction

I-Intial Concentration

C- Change

E-Equilibrium

So if you could use this method in your explanation it would be a big help in my understanding!! Thanks

Calculate Total Pressure At Equillibrium Given Concentration, T, and Kp

 

At -80 degrees Celsius....Kp for the reaction:
 
N2O4 <--> 2(NO2) 
 
Is 4.66*10^-8.  if .05 mol N2O4 is placed in an evacuated 1.0 L vessel at @ -80 degrees Celsius and
equilibrium established, the total pressure at equilibrium will be....? 
(Correct answer is supposedly .79 atm)
 
I am really intrigued by this problem. Its another one that I came across while studying for my General Chemistry II final on monday. 

Calculate Kc based on percent dissociation!

 

 
For the reaction given below, 10.00 moles of A and 5.00 moles of B are placed in a 5.00-L
container.
 
2A  +  B <--> C
 
At equilibrium, 25% of A has reacted. What is Kc?
 
According to the key on this practice exam the answer is .15   I keep trying an ice table and it keeps coming up with weird values so Im not sure what Im doing wrong. I have solved all of my other practice problems that relate to chemical equillibrium so I would appreciate some help on this one because I refuse to not know the answer! Haha. 

How to find equilibrium constants .

For the reaction CO +H20 = CO2 +H2, K=31.4 at 588 K.  Equal masses of reactant and products are placed in a reaction vessel at 588 K.

 

1) is the mixture at equilibrium?

2) If not, in which direction will a net change occur?

3)make and ICE table that would allow you to find the concetration of each substance at equilibrium
