Consider the equilibrium N2(𝑔) + O2(𝑔) + Br2(𝑔) ⇌ 2 NOBr(𝑔) Calculate the equilibrium constant 𝐾𝑝 for this reaction, given the following information at 298 K:
2 NO(𝑔) + Br2(𝑔) ⇌ 2 NOBr(𝑔) 𝐾𝑐 = 2.02
NO(𝑔) ⇌ N2(𝑔) + O2(𝑔) 𝐾𝑐 = 2.1×1030

Identify the given reactions and their equilibrium constants. The first reaction is 2 NO(g) + Br2(g) ⇌ 2 NOBr(g) with Kc = 2.02. The second reaction is NO(g) ⇌ N2(g) + O2(g) with Kc = 2.1×10^30.
Write the target reaction in terms of the given reactions. The target reaction is N2(g) + O2(g) + Br2(g) ⇌ 2 NOBr(g). Notice that this can be achieved by reversing the second reaction and then adding it to the first reaction.
Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reversed second reaction. For a reaction that is reversed, the equilibrium constant is the reciprocal of the original. Thus, Kc for the reversed reaction N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ NO(g) is 1/(2.1×10^30).
Combine the equilibrium constants of the adjusted reactions to find the equilibrium constant for the target reaction. When reactions are added, their equilibrium constants are multiplied. Therefore, multiply the Kc of the reversed second reaction with the Kc of the first reaction.
Convert the combined Kc to Kp using the relation Kp = Kc(RT)^(Δn), where Δn is the change in moles of gas between reactants and products, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Calculate Δn for the target reaction and use it to find Kp.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Equilibrium Constant (K)

The equilibrium constant (K) is a numerical value that expresses the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium for a given chemical reaction. It is specific to a particular reaction at a certain temperature. For reactions involving gases, the equilibrium constant can be expressed in terms of partial pressures (Kp) or concentrations (Kc), depending on the state of the reactants and products.

Relationship Between Kp and Kc

The relationship between Kp and Kc is defined by the equation Kp = Kc(RT)^(Δn), where R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Δn is the change in the number of moles of gas between products and reactants. This relationship allows for the conversion of equilibrium constants from concentration-based to pressure-based values, which is essential when dealing with gaseous reactions.

Le Chatelier's Principle

Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the system will adjust itself to counteract the change and restore a new equilibrium. This principle is crucial for understanding how changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature affect the position of equilibrium and the values of Kp and Kc in a chemical reaction.
