What does it mean for a reaction to be at equilibrium? What does it not mean?

1.Write the equilibrium expressions for the following equations:

Reaction 1: 2NO(g) + 2H2(g) N2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Reaction 2: CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2 (g)

Reaction 3: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) Cu2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)

H = 8.3*1011Kj

Reaction 4: HCl (aq) + H2O (l) H3o+(aq) + Cl-(aq) H = -350Kj

Reaction 5: H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g)

2a For reaction 1, calculate the value of the equilibrium constant (K) if the reaction
has 0.062M NO, 0.012M H2, 0.019M N2 and 0.138M H2O concentrations at
equilibrium. Does the reaction favor the reactants or the products?

2b. What is the equilibrium concentration of hydroiodic acid, HI, if the equilibrium
concentrations of hydrogen and iodine are 0.033M and 0.53M respectively and the
equilibrium constant for the reaction is 50? Use reaction 5.
