15. 0.600 moles of NO and 0.750 moles of O2 are placed in an empty 2.00 L flask. The system
is allowed to establish equilibrium. What will be the equilibrium concentration of each species
in the flask?
2 NO2(g)
2 NO(g) + O2(g)
Kc = 0.50
16. The concentrations of an equilibrium mixture of O2 , CO, and CO2 were 0.18 M, 0.35 M,
and 0.029 M respectively. Enough CO was added to the flask containing the equilibrium
mixture to momentarily raise its concentration to 0.60 M. What will be the concentration of each
species in the flask once equilibrium has been re-established after the additional carbon
monoxide was added?
2 CO2(g)
2 CO(g) + O2(g)
17. Cl2 gas undergoes homolytic cleavage into chlorine atoms at 1100oC. Kp at 1100oC for this
process is 1.13 x 10-4. If a sample with an initial Cl2 gas pressure of 0.500 atm was allowed to
reach equilibrium, what is the total pressure in the flask?
