Consider the following reaction: A2(g)+B2(g)2AB(g)\text{A}_2(g) + \text{B}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{AB}(g). At equilibrium, the concentrations of [A2]=3.0×103 M[\text{A}_2] = 3.0 \times 10^{–3} \text{ M}; [B2]=4.2×103 M[\text{B}_2] = 4.2 \times 10^{–3} \text{ M} and [AB]=2.8×103 M[\text{AB}] = 2.8 \times 10^{–3} \text{ M}. The value of KcK_c for the above-given reaction in a sealed container at 527C527^\circ\text{C} is:

Step-by-Step Solution

For the given reaction A2(g)+B2(g)2AB(g)\text{A}_2(g) + \text{B}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{AB}(g), the equilibrium constant expression (KcK_c) is written as the ratio of the product of the concentrations of the products to the product of the concentrations of the reactants, each raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients .

Kc=[AB]2[A2][B2]K_c = \frac{[\text{AB}]^2}{[\text{A}_2][\text{B}_2]}

Given equilibrium concentrations are: [A2]=3.0×103 M[\text{A}_2] = 3.0 \times 10^{-3} \text{ M} [B2]=4.2×103 M[\text{B}_2] = 4.2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ M} [AB]=2.8×103 M[\text{AB}] = 2.8 \times 10^{-3} \text{ M}

Substituting these values into the equilibrium constant expression: Kc=(2.8×103)2(3.0×103)(4.2×103)K_c = \frac{(2.8 \times 10^{-3})^2}{(3.0 \times 10^{-3})(4.2 \times 10^{-3})} Kc=7.84×10612.6×106K_c = \frac{7.84 \times 10^{-6}}{12.6 \times 10^{-6}} Kc=0.6220.6K_c = 0.622 \approx 0.6
