The equilibrium constant KC for the reaction below has a value of 2.80 x 10^2 at a certain temperature. Suppose that for a particular system at equilibrium at that certain temperature the SO2 molar density is 0.0124 mol/L and the O2 molar density is 0.0310. Please predict the molar density of SO3.
2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) →2SO3 (g)
Let we have a equilibrium reaction as
then the equilibrium constant of the above equilibrium reaction is written as
Here the Equilibrium reaction is written as
As we know that of the above equilibrium reaction is written as
We have the given concentration as
Now by using the law
Hence the concentration of at equilibrium is found as 0.0362M.
