The reversible chemical reaction A+B⇌C+D has the following equilibrium constant: Kc=[C][D]/[A][B]=5.4
PART A:
Initially, only A and B are present, each at 2.00 M . What is the final concentration of A once equilibrium is reached?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
PART B:
What is the final concentration of D at equilibrium if the initial concentrations are [A] = 1.00 M and [B] = 2.00 M ?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Thanks!
A+B⇌C+D
For th chemical reaction, given Kc = [C] [D] /[A] [B] =5.4
A + B ⇌ C + D
Initially 2.00 2.00 0 0
Change -x -x x x
At equilibium 2.00-x 2.00-x x x
Kc = 5.4 = x.x / (2.00-x) (2.00-x) = x2 / (2.00-x)2
5.4 (2.00-x)2 = x2
-4.4x2 - 21.6x + 21.6 = 0
- [ x2 + 4.9x - 4.9] = 0
x2 + 4.9x - 4.9 = 0
x = 0.710M
[A] = 2 - 0.710 = 1.28 M
