Consider the reaction run in an explosion-proof sealed vessel. (a) Running the reaction in a sealed vessel

Question:

Consider the reaction

SnO(s) + 2 H(g) Sn(s) + 2 HO(1)

run in an explosion-proof sealed vessel.

(a) Running the reaction in a sealed vessel allows equilibrium to be established. Explain why.

(b) Express the concentration of H2(g) in terms of Keq.

(c) The equilibrium constant for this reaction decreases as the reaction mixture is heated. Which way does the equilibrium shift?

(d) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Explain.

(e) A new employee at a chemical company adds additional SnO2(s) to the reaction in order to drive its position of equilibrium further to the right. Will this get her a promotion or get her fired? Explain.
