The equilibrium constant is given for two of the reactions below. Determine the value of the missing equilibrium constant. 2A(g) + B(g) ⇌ A2B(g) Kc = ? A2B(g) + B(g) ⇌ A2B2(g) Kc = 16.4 2A(g) + 2B(g) ⇌ A2B2(g) Kc = 28.2
A2B(g) + B(g) ⇌ A2B2(g) Kc = 16.4 ------- Eq (1)
2A(g) + 2B(g) ⇌ A2B2(g) Kc = 28.2 ------- Eq (2)
Take reverse of Eq (1)
A2B2(g) ⇌ A2B(g) + B(g) Kc = 1/16.4 --- Eq(3)
------------------------------------------------
2A(g) + 2B(g) ⇌ A2B2(g) Kc = 28.2 ------- Eq (2)
A2B2(g) ⇌ A2B(g) + B(g) Kc = 1/16.4 --- Eq(3)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
add eqs (2) and (3) and cancel similar terms
Hence, the resultant equation is
2A(g) + B(g) ⇌ A2B(g)
Kc = 28.2 x 1/16.4 = 1.72
Therefore,
2A(g) + B(g) ⇌ A2B(g) Kc = 1.72
