A sealed 1.0 L flask is charged with 0.500 mol of I2 and 0.500 mol of Br2. An equilibrium reaction ensues:
I2(g) + Br2(g) ↔ 2 IBr(g).
When the reaction reaches equilibrium, the flask contains 0.640 mol of IBr. What is the value of the equilibrium constant Kc, for this reaction?
I2(g) + Br2(g) ↔ 2 IBr(g).
I 0.5 0.5 0
C 0.32 0.32 0.64
E 0.18 0.18 0.64
Kc = [IBr]2/[I2][Br2]
= (0.64)2/0.18*0.18 = 12.64
