Answer:
Kc=13.61
Explanation:
A chemical equilibrium is the situation in which the ratio between the amounts of reagents and products in a chemical reaction remains constant over time.
The equilibrium constant (Kc) is useful for the study of chemical equilibrium, being a constant that indicates whether the reaction is favored to the formation of products or to the formation of reactants.
Being:
aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD
where a, b, c, d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction and A, B, C, D are the symbols or formulas of the different substances involved
Then:
where [] is the Molar concentration of each of the substances in equilibrium.
In this case, you know: 2 SO₂(g) +O₂(g)⇌2 SO₃(g)
So:
Being: [SO2]=0.48 M, [O2]=0.40 M, and [SO3]=1.12 M
Kc=13.61
