question 26

Multiple Choice

For the reaction: 2 Cl₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g) ⇌ 4 HCl(g) + O₂(g) ,K_p = 6.4 × 10^-6 at 500 K.If a fixed volume is filled with initial concentrations of these gases at 227 °C such that [Cl₂] = 0.5 M,[H₂O] = 0.40 M,[HCl] = 0.5 M,and [O₂] = 0.015 M,in which direction will the reaction proceed?

• A)The reaction proceeds to the right.
• B)The reaction proceeds to the left.
• C)The reaction is already at equilibrium.
• D)The reaction volume must be specified to answer this question.
• E)The value of K_p at 25 °C must be specified to answer this question.

Definitions:

Total Variable Costs

The summation of all costs that vary with the level of output, such as raw materials and labor costs, differing from fixed costs.

Total Fixed Costs

The sum of all costs required to produce any good or service, that do not change with the volume of production.

Average Variable Costs

The total variable expenses of producing an item, divided by the quantity of items produced, accounting for costs that change with the production volume.

AVC Curve

The Average Variable Cost curve, in economics, represents how the variable cost per unit changes with the level of output.
