Determination of equilibrium constant and its units
Question#1
In the reaction \( A + 2B \leftrightarrow 2C \) , if 2 moles of A, 3.0 moles of B and 2.0 moles of C are placed in a 2.0L flask and the equilibrium concentration of C is 0.5 mole/ L . The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction is [KCET 1996]
\( A + 2B \leftrightarrow 2C \)
\( 2 + 3 \leftrightarrow 2 \)
\( \frac{2}{V} \ \frac{3}{V} \leftrightarrow \frac{2}{V} \)
\( \frac{2}{2} \ \frac{3}{2} \leftrightarrow \frac{2}{2} \)
\( 1 + 1.5 \leftrightarrow 1 \)
\( (a-x) + (b-2x) \leftrightarrow 1+ 2x \)
\( (1-x) + (1.5-2x) \leftrightarrow 1+ 2x \)
1 + 2x= 0.5
x=-0.25
