Q.
The equilibrium constant Kc at 298K for the reaction A+B⇌C+D is 100 . Starting with an equimolar solution with concentrations of A,B,C and D all equal to 1M, the equilibrium concentration of D is___ ×10−2M. (Nearest integer)
First check direction of reversible reaction.
Since Qc=[A][B][C][D]=1<Keq. ⇒ reaction will
Now :Keq=100=(1−x)(1−x)(1+x)(1+x) ⇒100=(1−x1+x)2
(i) 10=(1−x1+x) ⇒10−10x=1+x ⇒11x=9 ⇒x=119
(ii) −10=1−x1+x ⇒−10+10x=1+x ⇒−9x=−11 ⇒x=911 → ' x ' cannot be more than one, therefore not valid.
therefore equation concretion of (D)=1+x =1+119=1120 =1.8181=181.81×10−2 ≃182×10−2
