A sample of ozone, O 3 , amounting to 0.10 mol, is placed in a sealed container

Question:

A sample of ozone, O3, amounting to 0.10 mol, is placed in a sealed container of volume 1.0 L and the reaction 2 O(g) → 3 O(g) is allowed to reach equilibrium. Then 0.50 mol O3 is placed in a second container of volume 1.0 L at the same temperature and allowed to reach equilibrium. Without doing any calculations, predict which of the following will be different in the two containers at equilibrium. Which will be the same?

(a) Amount of O2;

(b) Partial pressure of O2;

(c) The ratio PO2/PO3;

(d) The ratio (PO2)3/(PO3)2;

(e) The ratio (PO3)2/(PO2)3. Explain each of your answers.
