Question

A reaction is in equilibrium as shown: A + B C + D. Calculate the equilibrium constant in the final concentrations stabilized at: A= 9.6 M B= 10.0 M C= 4.0 M D= 4.0 M K =

Answer 1

Answer:

K = 0.167

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant, K of a reaction, is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of products and concentrations of reactants.

For the reactions:

A + B ⇄ C + D

For the definition, K is:

K = [C] [D] / [A] [B]

K = [4.0M] [4.0M] / [9.6M] [10.0M]

K = 0.167
