1. Common knowledge : Go to the right of periodic table, the atomic radius is decreasing

2. Flurine has 9 protons and lithium has 3 protons. you know that the electron is attracted with the centre of the atom, that's why more proton, more 'energy' that attract to the centre and that's why it make the shape of the atom is smaller

Consider the following reaction at a high temperature. Br2(g) ⇆ 2Br(g) When 1.35 moles of Br2 are put in a 0.780−L flask, 3.60 p

UNO [17]

Answer : The equilibrium constant $K_c$ for the reaction is, 0.1133

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of $Br_2$ .

$\text{Concentration of }Br_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }Br_2}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }Br_2=\frac{1.35moles}{0.780L}=1.731M$

Now we have to calculate the dissociated concentration of $Br_2$ .

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$Br_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2Br(aq)$

Initial conc. 1.731 M 0

At eqm. conc. (1.731-x) (2x) M

As we are given,

The percent of dissociation of $Br_2$ = $\alpha$ = 1.2 %

So, the dissociate concentration of $Br_2$ = $C\alpha=1.731M\times \frac{1.2}{100}=0.2077M$

The value of x = 0.2077 M

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $Br_2\text{ and }Br$ at equilibrium.

Concentration of $Br_2$ = 1.731 - x = 1.731 - 0.2077 = 1.5233 M

Concentration of $Br$ = 2x = 2 × 0.2077 = 0.4154 M

Now we have to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

The expression of equilibrium constant for the reaction will be :

$K_c=\frac{[Br]^2}{[Br_2]}$

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

$K_c=\frac{(0.4154)^2}{1.5233}=0.1133$

Therefore, the equilibrium constant $K_c$ for the reaction is, 0.1133
