Answer #1

A2(g) + B2(g) 2 C(g)

IC: 2.4 2.4 0
C: -x -x 2x
EC: 2.4 - x 2.4 - x 2x

So,

Kc = [C]2 / {[A2] [B2]}

56.2 = (2x)2 / [ (2.4 - x) (2.4 - x) ]

56.2 = 4x2 / (5.76 - 4.8x + x2)

56.2 (5.76 - 4.8x + x2) = 4x2

323.71 - 269.76x + 56.2x2 = 4x2

323.71 - 269.76x + 52.2x2 = 0

52.2x2 - 269.76x + 323.71 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get

x = 3.27 and x = 1.89

Since, x value can't be greater than 2.4, so x = 3.27 is discarded. Hence

x = 1.89

Now, equilibirium [C] = 2x = 2 x 1.89 M = 3.8 M
