Equilibrium : CalcRxnQuotient (13 Variations) In an experiment, 4.44 mol of SO2, 7.93 mol of O2 and 4.03 mol of SO3 are placed in a 2.0L reaction vessel at a certain temperature. Calculate the reaction quotient, Q, for the reaction as written:
What is the calculated reaction quotient, Q? {2:NUMERICAL:=2.1e-1:1e-2#Correct! ~%50%2.1e-1:5e-2#Close but not quite right}
If Kc for this reaction at the temperature of the experiment is 3.7 x 103, will the reaction move toward the left or toward the right? {1:MULTICHOICE:left#Sorry, that's wrong.~=right#Correct!}
Does the Addition of Inert Gases at Constant Volume and Temperature Affect Chemical Equilibrium?João C. M. Paiva, Jorge Gonçalves, and Susana Fonseca This article examines three approaches, leading to different conclusions, for answering the question "Does the addition of inert gases at constant volume and temperature modify the state of equilibrium?" Paiva, João C. M.; Gonçalves, Jorge; Fonseca, Susana. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1133.

An Updated Equilibrium MachineEmeric Schultz Describes a device that can demonstrate equilibrium and the Le Châtelier principle, as well as kinetic and thermodynamic concepts. The device consists of a leaf blower attached to a plastic container divided into two chambers by a barrier of variable size and form. Styrofoam balls can be exchanged across the barrier when various air pressures are applied by the blower. Schultz, Emeric. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1131.

EQVAPSIM: A Vapor–Liquid Equilibria of Binary Systems Computer Simulation by LabVIEWA. Belletti, R. Borromei, and G. Ingletto Reports the results of a program using LabVIEW software to simulate the construction of a phase diagram representing a liquidvapor equilibrium. The program models work in a real laboratory, including mistakes commonly made in this context. Belletti, A.; Borromei, R.; Ingletto, G. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 879.
Contrail. A Module from the Physical Chemistry On-Line ProjectFranklin M. C. Chen The condensation trail, or contrail, that trails behind a jet plane is an everyday observable phenomenon. These manmade cirrus clouds can persist for hours, or even days and can spread over thousands of square kilometers. This is a concern because clouds are major variables that control Earth's atmospheric temperature and climate. Understanding the impact of contrails on Earth's climate is an active area of research. Further, contrail formation can be examined in terms of the operative thermodynamic phenomena. The process of contrail formation involves combustion, cooling, and ice formation, all common topics in the undergraduate physical chemistry curriculum. The project when it is subdivided into separate manageable subjects is a good, comprehensive exercise for physical chemistry students.

JavaScript Programs To Calculate Thermodynamic Properties Using Cubic Equations of StatePatrick J. Barrie Cubic equations of state are widely used by chemists and chemical engineers to predict the thermodynamic properties of both pure substances and mixtures. In particular, these equations enable predictions concerning the temperature and pressure at which vapor liquid equilibrium occurs. These two educational JavaScript programs perform calculations using cubic equations of state and, equally importantly, explain how the calculations are performed.
