given [A3O]initial =.400 M and [X2]initial - 1.000 M calculate the equilibrium concentration of A3O according to the following balanced equation
2A3O+X2=3A2+2XO
2A3O + X2 <-------> 3A2 + 2XO
Kc = [ A2 ]^3 [ XO ]^2/[ A3O ]^2 [ X2 ]
Initial concentration
[A3O] = 0.400M
[ X2 ] = 1.000M
[ A2 ] = 0
[ XO ] = 0
Change in concentration
[ A3O ] = -2x
[ X2] = - x
[ A2 ] = +3x
[ XO ] = +2x
Equillibrium concentration
[ A3O ] = 0.400 - 2x
[ X2 ] = 1.000 - x
[ A2 ] = 3x
[ XO ] = 2x
Therefore,
Kc = (3x)^3 ( 2x )^2/(0.400 - 2x)^2 ( 1.000 - x )
If you know Kc value , you can solve for x
substitutig the value x in [ A3O ] = 0.400 - 2x , you will get the equillibrium concentration of A3O
