9) What is the symbolic expression for the equilibrium constant for the reaction:
2 C2H6(g) + 7 O2(g) ⇌ 4 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)?
The equilibrium constant Kc is given by the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants, each raised to the power of their coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
For the given reaction:
2 C2H6(g) + 7 O2(g) ⇌ 4 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)
The expression for the equilibrium constant Kc is:
Kc = [CO2]^4[H2O]^6 / [C2H6]^2[O2]^7
