7.7 Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations
7.4 Calculating the Equilibrium Constant
A rigid, sealed \(1.0 \text{ L}\) reaction vessel contains a mixture of \(\text{NO(g)}\) and \(\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\) at a constant temperature. The system reacts and reaches equilibrium according to the balanced equation below:
\[ 2\,\text{NO(g)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NO}_2\text{(g)} \]
The initial and equilibrium concentrations of the species are recorded in the table below:
Based on the data, what is the numerical value of the equilibrium constant, \(K_c\), for the reaction at this temperature?
\[ 2\,\text{NO(g)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NO}_2\text{(g)} \]
The initial and equilibrium concentrations of the species are recorded in the table below:
| Species | Initial Concentration (M) | Equilibrium Concentration (M) |
|---|---|---|
| \(\text{NO(g)}\) | \(0.60\) | \(?\) |
| \(\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\) | \(0.40\) | \(?\) |
| \(\text{NO}_2\text{(g)}\) | \(0.00\) | \(0.40\) |
Based on the data, what is the numerical value of the equilibrium constant, \(K_c\), for the reaction at this temperature?
