Which will not appear in the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction below?
2 answers:
Answer: B: [C]
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of the product of the concentration of products to the product of the concentration of reactants each raised to their stochiometric coefficient.
But the concentration of solids in their standard state is taken as 1.
Thus [C(s)] =1

Answer:
0.677 moles
Explanation:
Take the atomic mass of K = 39.1, O =16.0, P = 31.0
no. of moles = mass / molar mass
no. of moles of K3PO4 used = 4.79 / (39.1x3 + 31 + 16x4)
= 0.02256 mol
From the equation, the mole ratio of KOH : K3PO4 = 3 :1,
meaning every 3 moles of KOH used, produces 1 mole of K3PO4.
So, using this ratio, let the no. of moles of KOH required to be y.
y = 0.02256 x3
y = 0.0677 mol
If you don't find exactly 0.677 moles as one of the options, go for the closest one. A very slight error may occur because of taking different significant figures of atomic masses when calculating.
