Answer :
The equilibrium concentration of CO is, 0.016 M
The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ is, 0.034 M
The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ is, 0.139 M
Explanation :
The given chemical reaction is:
Initial conc. 0.1550 0.173 0
At eqm. (0.1550-x) (0.173-x) x
As we are given:
The expression for equilibrium constant is:
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
x = 0.139 and x = 0.193
We are neglecting value of x = 0.193 because equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.
Thus, we are taking value of x = 0.139
The equilibrium concentration of CO = (0.1550-x) = (0.1550-0.139) = 0.016 M
The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ = (0.173-x) = (0.173-0.139) = 0.034 M
The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ = x = 0.139 M
Explanation:
Le Chatelier's principle states that for a long period of time if a system is at equilibrium and it is subjected to change in concentration, temperature, volume or pressure then the system shifts to a new equilibrium.
This change will partly counter acts the applied change.
Therefore, when heat is added to the system then equilibrium will shift to the side where temperature or heat is reduced again.
For example,
Since heat is added to the system, hence, system will shift to the left side or we can say equilibrium will shift to the backward direction.
