The equilibrium of 2H 2 O(g) 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) at 2,000 K has a Keq value of 5.31 x 10-10. What is the Keq expression for this
system? (Enter subscripts after the letters: for example, H2O = Hs2O. Also, don't forget to use proper chemical shorthand for chemical symbols. For instance, chlorine = Cl but not cl or cL.)
Answer is: Keq expression for this system is Keq = <span>[O</span>₂<span> ]</span> · [H₂<span>]</span>² ÷ [H₂O<span>]</span>².<span> Chemical reaction: 2H</span>₂O(g) ⇄ O₂(g) + 2H₂(g). The equilibrium constant<span> (Keq) is a ratio of the concentration of the products (in this reaction oxygen and hydrogen) to the concentration of the reactants (in this reaction water).</span>
Explanation: The combination of two or more atoms, from the same or different elements, creates a molecule. Compounds are a type of molecules made of atoms from different elements held together by chemical bonds.
