QUESTION 7 (Start on a new page.)
A hypothetical reaction is represented by the balanced equation below.
A(g) + 2B(g) ⇌ 2C(g)
Initially 3 moles of A(g) and 6 moles of B(g) are mixed in a 5 dm3 sealed container.

present.
7.1 Define the term chemical equilibrium. (2)
7.2 Show by calculation that the equilibrium concentration of C(g) is 0,4 mol∙dm-3. (3)
7.3 How will an increase in pressure, by decreasing the volume of the container,
influence the amount of C(g) in the container at 25 °C?
Write down INCREASES, DECREASES or REMAINS THE SAME. Explain
the answer. (3)
7.4 The initial number of moles of B(g) is now increased while the initial number
of moles of A(g) remains constant at 25 °C.
Calculate the number of moles of B(g) that must be ADDED to the original
amount (6 mol) so that the concentration of C(g) is 0,8 mol∙dm-3 at
equilibrium. The equilibrium constant (K C ) for this reaction at 25 °C is 0,625. (9)
