Thee given question is incomplete. the complete question is:
The reaction below is carried out at a different temperature at which Kc = 0.055. This time, however, the reaction mixture starts with only the product, [NO] = 0.0100 M, and no reactants. Find the equilibrium concentrations of N2, O2, and NO at equilibrium. The equation is N2(g) + O2(g) <--> 2NO(g)
Concentration of
at equilibrium = 0.001 M
Concentration of
= 0.0045 M
Concentration of
= 0.0045 M
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each term raised to its stoichiometric coefficients.
Initial concentration of
= 0.0100 M
The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,
![N_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO(g)](/tpl/images/0599/1341/a8a50.png)
Initial conc. 0 M 0 M 0.0100 M
At eqm. conc. (x) M (x) M (0.0100-2x) M
The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,
![K_c=\frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]}](/tpl/images/0599/1341/71f8f.png)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :
![0.055=\frac{(0.0100-2x)^2}{(x)\times (x)}](/tpl/images/0599/1341/0552a.png)
By solving the term 'x', we get :
x = 0.0045
Thus, the concentrations of
at equilibrium are :
Concentration of
at equilibrium = (0.0100-2x) M = ![(0.0100-2\times 0.0045)=0.001M](/tpl/images/0599/1341/2ad70.png)
Concentration of
= (x) M = 0.0045 M
Concentration of
= (x) M = 0.0045 M
