Question

The equilibrium constant for the reaction: HCHO(g) ⇌ H2(g) + CO(g).

Answer 1

Answer:

K = [H2] [CO] / [HCHO]

Explanation:

HCHO(g) ⇌ H2(g) + CO(g)

We can obtain the expression for the equilibrium constant for the above equation as follow:

Equilibrium constant, K for a given reaction is the ratio of the concentration of the product raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactant raised to their coefficient.

Thus, the equilibrium constant, K for the above equation can be written as follow:

K = [H2] [CO] / [HCHO]
