Answer : The concentration of
at equilibrium is 0.9332 M
Solution : Given,
Concentration of
and
at equilibrium = 0.200 M
Concentration of
and
at equilibrium = 0.500 M
First we have to calculate the value of equilibrium constant.
The given equilibrium reaction is,
![N_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO(g)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=N_2%28g%29%2BO_2%28g%29%5Crightleftharpoons%202NO%28g%29)
The expression of
will be,
![K_c=\frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BNO%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BN_2%5D%5BO_2%5D%7D)
![K_c=\frac{(0.500)^2}{(0.200)\times (0.200)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%280.500%29%5E2%7D%7B%280.200%29%5Ctimes%20%280.200%29%7D)
![K_c=6.25](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D6.25)
Now we have to calculate the final concentration of NO.
The given equilibrium reaction is,
![N_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO(g)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=N_2%28g%29%2BO_2%28g%29%5Crightleftharpoons%202NO%28g%29)
Initially 0.200 0.200 0
.800
At equilibrium (0.200-x) (0.200-x) (0.800+2x)
The expression of
will be,
![K_c=\frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BNO%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BN_2%5D%5BO_2%5D%7D)
![K_c=\frac{(0.800+2x)^2}{(0.200-x)\times (0.200-x)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%280.800%2B2x%29%5E2%7D%7B%280.200-x%29%5Ctimes%20%280.200-x%29%7D)
By solving the term x, we get
![x=2.6\text{ and }-0.0666](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D2.6%5Ctext%7B%20and%20%7D-0.0666)
From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 2.6 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 2.6 is not consider.
And the negative value of 'x' shows that the equilibrium shifts towards the left side (reactants side).
Thus, the concentration of
at equilibrium = (0.800+2x) = 0.800 + 2(0.0666) = 0.9332 M
Therefore, the concentration of
at equilibrium is 0.9332 M
