The system: 2A + B ↔ 2C ; initially started with 1 mole of B and 1 mol A in a 1L flask. Keq = 6.8 x 10-5 To calculate the equilibrium concentrations a simplifying assumption (approximation) can be made.
True
False
2A + B ↔ 2C
I 1 1 0
C -2x -x 2x
E 1-2x 1-x 2x
Ka = [C]^2/[A]^2[B]
6.8*10^-5 = (2x)^2/(1-2x)(1-x)
6.8*10^-5 *(1-2x)(1-x) = 4x^2
x = 0.0041
[A] = 1-2x = 1-2*0.0041 = 0.9918M
[B] = 1-x = 1-0.0041 = 0.9959 M
