At a given temperature, analysis of an equilibrium mixture represent below is given as:
SO2(g) + NO2(g) <--> SO3(g) + NO(g) Where
[SO2]=4.0M, [NO2]=0.50M, [SO3]= 3.0M, [NO]=2.0M. Find the value of Keq
what is it about this you do not understand?
I don't know how to find the value of Keq :(
Okay wait, ill give it a try.
Keq = [SO3] [NO]
-------------
[SO2] [NO2]
Keq = {3.0M) {2.0M}
---------------
(4.0M) (0.50M)
Keq = 3.0 M
is that right?
I agree with 3.0 but not the unit.
To find the value of the equilibrium constant (Keq), we need to use the concentrations of the reactants and products in the equilibrium mixture. In this case, the given concentrations are:
[SO2] = 4.0 M
[NO2] = 0.50 M
[SO3] = 3.0 M
[NO] = 2.0 M
The general expression for the equilibrium constant, Keq, can be written using the concentrations of the reactants and products raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients. In this case, the stoichiometric coefficients for the balanced equation are 1 for SO2 and NO2, and 1 for SO3 and NO.
Keq = ([SO3] * [NO]) / ([SO2] * [NO2])
Substituting the given concentrations into the expression:
Keq = (3.0 * 2.0) / (4.0 * 0.50)
Keq = 6.0 / 2.0
Keq = 3.0
Therefore, the value of Keq for the given equilibrium mixture is 3.0.
