Can you Identify the correct equilibrium constant, Keg, expression
2H2(g)+02(g)<->2H20(l)?
a)Keg=1/(2(H2)(02))
b)Keg=(H20)2/((H2)2(02))
c)Keg=1/(H2)2(02))
d)Keg=(H2)2(02)
A is wrong
To identify the correct equilibrium constant (Keg) expression for the given reaction:
2H2(g) + O2(g) <-> 2H2O(l)
We need to refer to the balanced equation and understand how the equilibrium constant is calculated.
The equilibrium constant (Keg) expression is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants, with each concentration raised to the power of its respective stoichiometric coefficient.
In this case, we have:
[H2O]^2 / ([H2]^2 [O2])
Therefore, the correct equilibrium constant expression for the given reaction is:
b) Keg = (H2O)^2 / ([H2]^2 [O2])
