Solutions

Expert Solution

This is a reversible reaction

                           This is equation is of the form: aA + bB <----------> cC

          For a reversible reaction at equilibrium: forward and reverse reactions are in balance

So,      At equilibrium: rateforward=ratereverse

                                                               kforward [A]a[B]b= kbackward [C]c

where [A],[B],[C] are concentrations of A,B and C respectively and a,b,c are stoichiometric coefficients of A,B,C respectively. kforward, kbackward are rate constants of forward and backward reactions respectively.

                                       Applying this to the given equation,

                                  kforward [Ag+]1[NH3]2= kbackward [Ag(NH3)2]1

                                                    kforward / kbackward = [Ag(NH3)2]1 /[Ag+]1[NH3]2

                                                                            Write k = kforward / kbackward

                                                                       So, K = [Ag(NH3)2]1 /[Ag+]1[NH3]2

   So it can be generalised that k is the ratio of concentrations of products to reactants
