Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is defined as the substance that helps in increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. A catalyst never gets consumed in a chemical reaction.

When a catalyst lowers the activation energy then molecules with much less energy are also able to participate in the chemical reaction. Hence, formation of products occur rapidly and thus rate of reaction increases.

Therefore, we can conclude that the catalyst is unchanged and is separate from the products after a chemical reaction has occurred.

Given the following information, what is the concentration of H2O(g) at equilibrium? [H2S](eq) = 0.671 M [O2](eq) = 0.587 M Kc =

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{c}$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{eq}$ is written as:

$K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in the expression.

For the given chemical reaction:

$2H_2S(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S(s)+2H_2O(g)$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation is:

$K_c=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{[H_2S]^2\times [O_2]}$

We are given:

$[H_2S]_{eq}=0.671M$

$[O_2]_{eq}=0.587M$

$K_c=1.35$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$1.35=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{(0.671)^2\times 0.587}$

$[H_2O]=\sqrt{(1.35\times 0.671\times 0.671\times 0.587)}=0.597M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M
