Consider the reaction: SO2Cl2(g) ⇌ SO2(g) + Cl2(g). A reaction mixture is made containing an initial [SO2Cl2] of 0.020 M. At equilibrium, [Cl2] = 1.2*10^-2 M. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc).

Identify the balanced chemical equation: \( \text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{SO}_2(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \).
Write the expression for the equilibrium constant \( K_c \): \( K_c = \frac{[\text{SO}_2][\text{Cl}_2]}{[\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2]} \).
Set up an ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table to determine the equilibrium concentrations of all species.
Use the given initial concentration of \( \text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2 \) and the equilibrium concentration of \( \text{Cl}_2 \) to find the change in concentration and calculate the equilibrium concentrations of \( \text{SO}_2 \) and \( \text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2 \).
Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the \( K_c \) expression to solve for the equilibrium constant.

Concetti chiave

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

Equilibrium Constant (Kc)

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is a numerical value that expresses the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium for a given reaction at a specific temperature. It is calculated using the formula Kc = [products]^[coefficients] / [reactants]^[coefficients]. A Kc value greater than 1 indicates that products are favored at equilibrium, while a value less than 1 suggests that reactants are favored.

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 helps predict how changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature will affect the position of equilibrium in a chemical reaction.

Stoichiometry of Reactions

Stoichiometry involves the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the balanced chemical equation. It allows us to determine the relationships between the amounts of substances consumed and produced. In the context of equilibrium, stoichiometry is essential for calculating the concentrations of all species involved, which is necessary for determining the equilibrium constant.

Domanda del libro di testo

Consider the reaction: NH4HS(s) ⇌ NH3(g) + H2S(g) At a certain temperature, Kc = 8.5⨉10-3. A reaction mixture at this temperature containing solid NH4HS has [NH3] = 0.166 M and [H2S] = 0.166 M. Will more of the solid form or will some of the existing solid decompose as equilibrium is reached?
