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
