Methane gas can be produced by the reaction of solid carbon with hydrogen gas as follows C(s) + 2 H2(g) ⇌ CH4(g) For this reaction at equilibrium, Kp = 0.38. A vessel containing carbon is sealed and injected inititally with hydrogen to a pressure of 2.0 atm and with methane to a pressure of 2.0 atm. What happens as the reaction proceeds toward equilibrium? Hint: this is a K vs Q question. Which way will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?

An example of a reaction that experiences a decrease in entropy, ΔS < 0, yet is spontaneous because of the release of a large quantity of heat, ΔH = −151 kJ, is the formation of solid ammonium nitrate from the reaction of gaseous nitric acid with gaseous ammonia. HNO3(g) + NH3(g) → NH4NO3 (s) The change in free energy under standard condition is: ΔG° = −93. kJ/mol. Calculate the equilibrium constant, K, for the reaction at T = 298 K.
