Question

B. The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2H2(g) + S2(g) 2H2S(g) is Keq = . (3 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

i. Keq=4157.99.

ii. More hydrogen sulfide will be produced.

Explanation:

Hello,

i. In this case, for the concentrations at equilibrium on the given chemical reaction, the equilibrium constant results:

$Keq=\frac{[H_2S]^2}{[H_2]^2[S_2]} =\frac{(0.97M)^2}{(0.051M)^2(0.087)} =4157.99$

ii. Now, by means of the Le Chatelier's principle, the addition of a reactant shifts the reaction towards products, it means that more hydrogen sulfide will be produced in order to reach equilibrium.

Best regards.
