Calculating equilibrium concentrations when the net reaction proceeds forward
Consider mixture B, which will cause the net reaction to proceed forward.
Concentration (M)initial:change:equilibrium:[XY]0.500−x0.500−xnet→⇌[X]0.100+x0.100+x+[Y]0.100+x0.100+x
The change in concentration, x, is negative for the reactants because they are consumed and positive for the products because they are produced.
Part B
Based on a Kc value of 0.170 and the given data table, what are the equilibrium concentrations of XY, X, and Y, respectively
Calculating equilibrium concentrations when the net reaction proceeds in reverse
Consider mixture C, which will cause the net reaction to proceed in reverse.
Concentration (M)initial:change:equilibrium:[XY]0.200+x0.200+x←net⇌[X]0.300−x0.300−x+[Y]0.300−x0.300−x
The change in concentration, x, is positive for the reactants because they are produced and negative for the products because they are consumed.
Part C
Based on a Kc value of 0.170 and the data table given, what are the equilibrium concentrations of XY, X, and Y, respectively?
