1) The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 1.20×10-2 at 500 K. PCl5(g) <--- --->PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of reactant and products when 0.279 moles of PCl5(g) are introduced into a 1.00 L vessel at 500 K. [PCl5] = M [PCl3] = M [Cl2] = M 2) The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 55.6 at 698 K. H2 (g) + I2 (g) <---- ----> 2 HI (g) Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of reactants and product when 0.388 moles of H2 and 0.388 moles of I2 are introduced into a 1.00 L vessel at 698 K. [ H2 ] = M [ I2 ] = M [ HI ] = M
1) The given reaction is,
_______PCl5(g) <--> PCl3(g)______ +_______ Cl2(g)
I ______0.279 _______0 ______________________0
C_________-x _______+x _____________________+x
E_______0.279 -x ______x _____________________x
Now,
Kc = [PCl3][Cl2]/[PCl5] = x * x / (0.279 - x) = 1.20 x 10-2
=> x2 / 0.279 - x = 1.20 x 10-2
=> x2 = (0.279 -x) 1.20 x 10-2
=> x2 = 0.279 x 1.20 x 10-2 - 1.20 x 10-2 * x
=> x2 +1.20 * 10-2 * x - 0.279 *1.20 * 10-2 = 0
=> x2 + 0.0120 x - 0.003348 = 0
Using quadratic formula , taking only posiitve value of x we get,
x = -0.0120 + 0.1163 / 2
=> x = 0.05215
[PCl3 ]= 0.05215 mol / 1 L = 0.05215 M
[Cl2] = 0.05215 mol / 1 L = 0.05215 M
and [PCl5] = 0.279 -0.05215 mol / 1 L = 0.22685 M
2) The given reaction is H2 (g) + I2 (g) <---- ----> 2 HI (g)
ICE table H2 (g) ______+_______ I2 (g) <---- ----> 2 HI (g)
I______0.388 ________________0.388 __________0
C_____-x _____________________-x____________+2x
E_____0.388 -x _______________0.388-x ________ 2x
Now, Kc = [HI]2 / [H2] [I2] = 55.6
=> 55.6 = (2x)2 / (0.388 -x )* (0.388 -x )
=> 55.6 = 4x2 / (0.388 -x)2
=> 55.6 * (0.388 -x)2 =4 x2
=> 55.6 *( 0.150544 - 0.776x + x2) = x2
=> 8.3702464 - 43.1456 x + 55.6x2 -4x2 = 0
=> 51.6 x2 -43.1456 x + 8.3702464 = 0
Using quadratic formula, we get two values of x as--
x = 43.1456 ( +-) 11.5725 / 103.2
=> x = 43.1456 + 11.5725/ 103.2 = 0.530 , or x = 43.1456 -11.5725 / 103.2 = 0.306
With 0.0.530 we egt negative value of concentration, so it cannot be used, therefore the accepted value of x will be 0.306
Now, [H2] = 0.388 - 0.306 mol / 1 L = 0.082 M
[I2] = 0.388 - 0.306 mol / 1 L = 0.082 M
[HI] = 2 x 0.306 mol / 1 L = 0.612 M
