The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following
reaction is 33.3 at 297 K.
2CH2Cl2(g)
<-------->>>CH4(g) +
CCl4(g)
When a sufficiently large sample of
CH2Cl2(g) is introduced into
an evacuated vessel at 297 K, the equilibrium
concentration of CCl4(g) is found to be
0.322 M.
Calculate the concentration of
CH2Cl2 in the equilibrium
mixture. M
2CH2Cl2(g) <-------->>>CH4(g) + CCl4(g)
I x 0 0
C -0.322 0.322 0.322
E x-0.322 0.322 0.322
Kc = [CH4][CCl4]/[CH2Cl2]2
33.3 = 0.322*0.322/(x-0.322)^2
33.3(x-0.322)^2 = 0.322*0.322
x = 0.377
[CH2Cl2] = x-0.322
= 0.377-0.322 = 0.055M >>>>answer
