Consider the following reaction: |
Part A If a reaction mixture initially contains 0.195 M SO2Cl2, what is the equilibrium concentration of Cl2 at 227 ∘C?
|
SO2Cl2 <---> SO2 + Cl2
I
0.195
0 0
C
-x
x x
Eq 0.195-x x x
Kc = [SO2]*[Cl2]/[SO2Cl2]
2.99*10^-7 = x2/(0.195 - x)
Lets ignore the value of -x, because this value of Kc it's too
small
2.99*10^-7 = x2/(0.195)
x = 0.24*10^-3
This value confirmats that we could ignore the -x, it's too small
in comparison to the initial concentration.
In equilibrium:
[SO2Cl2] = 0.195 - 0.24*10^-3 = 0.19476 mol/l
[SO2] = 2.41x10^-4 mol/l
[Cl2] = 2.41x10^-4 mol/l
