At a certain temperature, this reaction establishes an equilibrium with the given equilibrium constant, Kc. 3A(g) + 2B(g) <===> 4C(g) K(c) = 2.93 x 10^(27) If, at this temperature, 2.40 mol of A and 3.70 mol of B are placed in a 1.00-L container, what are the concentrations of A, B, and C at equilibrium? [A] = ? M [B] = ? M [C] = ? M
3A(g) + 2B(g) <===> 4C(g)
K(c) = 2.93 x 10^(27)
3A(g) + 2B(g) <===> 4C(g)
I 2.4 3.7 0
C -3x -2x 4x
E 2.4-3x 3.7-2x 4x
Kc = [C]^4/[A]^3[B]^2
2.93*10^27 = (4x)^4/(2.4-3x)^3*(3.7-2x)^2
2.93*10^27*(2.4-3x)^3*(3.7-2x)^2 = 256x^4
x = 0.79
[A] = 2.4-3x = 2.4-3*0.79 = 0.03M
[B] = 3.7-2x = 3.7-2*0.79 = 2.12M
[C] = 4x = 4*0.79 = 3.16M
