Avg difficulty 2.5

Write the mathematical expression for the reaction quotient, Qc, for each of the following reactions:

(a) CH4(g)+Cl2(g)⇌CH3Cl(g)+HCl(g)\text{CH}_{4} \left(g\right) + \text{Cl}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_{3} \text{Cl} \left(g\right) + \text{HCl} \left(g\right)

(b) N2(g)+O2(g)⇌2NO(g)\text{N}_{2} \left(g\right) + \text{O}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{NO} \left(g\right)

(c) 2SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2SO3(g)2 \text{SO}_{2} \left(g\right) + \text{O}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{SO}_{3} \left(g\right)

(d) BaSO3(s)⇌BaO(s)+SO2(g)\text{BaSO}_{3} \left(s\right) \rightleftharpoons \text{BaO} \left(s\right) + \text{SO}_{2} \left(g\right)

(e) P4(g)+5O2(g)⇌P4O10(s)\text{P}_{4} \left(g\right) + 5 \text{O}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightleftharpoons \text{P}_{4} \text{O}_{10} \left(s\right)

(f) Br2(g)⇌2Br(g)\text{Br}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{Br} \left(g\right)

(g) CH4(g)+2O2(g)⇌CO2(g)+2H2O(l)\text{CH}_{4} \left(g\right) + 2 \text{O}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightleftharpoons \text{CO}_{2} \left(g\right) + 2 \text{H}_{2} \text{O} \left(l\right)

(h) CuSO4·5H2O(s)⇌CuSO4(s)+5H2O(g)\text{CuSO}_{4} \cdot 5 \text{H}_{2} \text{O} \left(s\right) \rightleftharpoons \text{CuSO}_{4} \left(s\right) + 5 \text{H}_{2} \text{O} \left(g\right)
