SO2 (0.522 mol.L-1) and O2 (0.633 mol.L-1) react and reach equilibrium. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of the products and reactants given that KC = 5.66 x 10-10 for this reaction: 2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2 SO3 (g).

Respuesta :

Answer: Hence, the equilibrium concentration of the [tex]SO_2,O_2\text{ and }SO_3[/tex] are 0.521, 0.632 and [tex]10.88\times 10^{-6}M[/tex]respectively.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is:

                  [tex]SO_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)[/tex]

At t = 0          0.522           0.633               0  

At [tex]t=t_{eq}[/tex]      0.522-x         0.633-2x      2x

The expression for [tex]K_c[/tex] for the given reaction follows:

[tex]K_c=\frac{[SO_2]^2}{[SO_2]\times [O_2]}[/tex]

We are given:

[tex]K_c=5.66\times 10^{-10}[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]5.66\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(2x)^2}{(0.522-x)\times (0.633-2x)^2}[/tex]

[tex]x=5.44\times 10^{-6}M[/tex]

Thus equilibrium concentration of [tex]SO_2[/tex] is = (0.522-x )= [tex](0.522-5.44\times 10^{-6})=0.521[/tex]

equilibrium concentration of [tex]O_2[/tex] is = (0.633-2x )= [tex](0.633-2\times 5.44\times 10^{-6})=0.632[/tex]

equilibrium concentration of [tex]SO_3[/tex] is = (2x )= [tex](2\times 5.44\times 10^{-6})=10.88\times 10^{-6}M[/tex]
