Question

3. Silver chloride (AgCl) is a white solid. For the equilibrium reaction AgCl(s) = Ag+(aq) + Cl?(aq)

The Ksp for AgCl = 1.6 * 10?10. At equilibrium, would you expect to have more silver and chloride

ions or more solid silver chloride? Explain.

4. Methanol has the formula CH3OH and can be produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide

with hydrogen gas.

CO + 2 H2 CH3OH + heat

In an attempt to maximize the yield of methanol (amount of methanol produced), a chemist

would try to shift the equilibrium as far to the right as possible. What could we do to

accomplish this would accomplish this? List three separate things we would do to maximize the

production of methanol

Explanation / Answer

(3) since Ksp <1,therefore i expect to have more silver and chloride ions

(4)(a) addition of exxecive amount of H2

(b) addition of exxecive amount of CO

(c) since it is a exothermic reaction, keeping the temperature lowand constantly removing the heat produced
