Substance C is formed at 600K from A and B according to the reaction below:
A + B -> C
A 0.500 L pressure vessel is loaded with 0.350 mol of A and 0.350 mol of B. What are the concentrations of all three substances at equilibrium, Kc=4.95 at 600K?
molarity of A = B = moles / volume
= 0.350 / 0.500
= 0.70
A + B --------------------> C
0.7 0.7 0 ---------------> initial
0.7-x 0.7-x x ------------------> equilirium
Kc = [C]/ [A][B]
4.95 = x / (0.7-x )^2
( x^2 + 0.49 -1.4 x ) 4.95 = x
4.95 x^2 - 7.93 x + 2.43 = 0
x = 0.413
equilibrium concentrations :
[A ] = 0.287 M
[B] = 0.287 M
[C ] = 0.413 M
