Question #595cf
1 Answer
The equilibrium concentration of
Before doing any actual calculations, take a look at the value of the equilibrium constant,
Since
This implies that the equilibrium concentration of the products will be significantly smaller than that of the reactant,
Use an ICE table to help you with the calculations
I.....0.150.............0............0
C....(-
E....0.150-2x.........x...........x
The equilibrium constant is equal to
You acn solve this by taking the square root of both sides of the equation to get
This is equivalent to
Since
Notice that the initial prediction turned out to be correct. The equilibrium concentrations of the products are indeed smaller than that of the reactant.
