Calculate the Kc for the following reaction if an initial reaction mixture of 0.500 mole of CO and 1.500 mole of H2 in a 5.00 liter container forms an equilibrium mixture containing 0.198 mole of H2O and corresponding amounts of CO, H2, and CH4.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

CO(g) + 3 H₂(g) = CH₄(g) + H₂O(g)

Step 2: Calculate the respective concentrations

Step 3: Make an ICE chart

        CO(g) + 3 H₂(g) = CH₄(g) + H₂O(g)

I       0.100      0.300        0            0

C         -x           -3x          +x          +x

E    0.100-x    0.300-3x     x            x

Step 4: Find the value of x

Since the concentration at equilibrium of water is 0.0396 M, x = 0.0396

Step 5: Find the concentrations at equilibrium

[CO] = 0.100-x = 0.100-0.0396 = 0.060 M

[H₂] = 0.300-3x = 0.300-3(0.0396) = 0.181 M

[CH₄] = x = 0.0396 M

[H₂O] = x = 0.0396 M

Step 6: Calculate the equilibrium constant (Kc)
