the equilibrium concentration of H₂(g) at 700°C = 0.00193 mol/L

0.00193 mol/L

Given that:

numbers of moles of H₂S = 0.59 moles

Volume = 3.0-L

Equilibrium constant = 9.30 × 10⁻⁸

The equation for the reaction is given as :

2H₂S ⇄ 2H₂(g) + S₂(g)

The initial concentration of H₂S =

= 0.1966 mol/L

The ICE table is shown be as :

2H₂S ⇄ 2H₂(g) + S₂(g)

Initial 0.9166 0 0

Change -2 x +2 x + x

Equilibrium (0.9166 - 2x) 2x x

(since 2x < 0.1966 if solved through quadratic equation)

The equilibrium concentration for H₂(g) = 2x

∴

= 0.00193 mol/L

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of H₂(g) at 700°C = 0.00193 mol/L
