PROBLEM
4. HPA˚Aˋ une certaine température, Kc égale 4,8 dans la réaction suivante entre le dioxyde de soufre, SO2(g), et le dioxyde d'azote, NO2(g) : SO2(g)+NO2(g)⇌NO(g)+SO3(g)Si le dioxyde de soufre et le dioxyde d'azote ont une concentration initiale de 0,36mol/L, quelle quantité de trioxyde de soufre, SO3(g), est présente dans un récipient de 5,0 L à l'état d'équilibre?
STEP 1
1. The reaction is at equilibrium with a given equilibrium constant Kc=4.8. 2. The initial concentrations of SO2 and NO2 are both 0.36mol/L. 3. The volume of the container is 5.0L. 4. We need to find the equilibrium concentration of SO3.
STEP 2
1. Set up the equilibrium expression for the reaction. 2. Use an ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table to express concentrations at equilibrium. 3. Solve for the equilibrium concentration of SO3. 4. Calculate the amount of SO3 in moles.
STEP 3
The equilibrium expression for the reaction is given by: Kc=[SO2][NO2][NO][SO3]
STEP 4
Set up an ICE table: - Initial concentrations: [SO2]=0.36mol/L, [NO2]=0.36mol/L, [NO]=0mol/L, [SO3]=0mol/L. - Change in concentrations: −x for [SO2] and [NO2], +x for [NO] and [SO3]. - Equilibrium concentrations: [SO2]=0.36−x, [NO2]=0.36−x, [NO]=x, [SO3]=x.
STEP 5
Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the equilibrium expression: Kc=(0.36−x)(0.36−x)x⋅x=4.8Simplify and solve for x: (0.36−x)2x2=4.8Take the square root of both sides: 0.36−xx=4.8Solve for x: x=0.36⋅1+4.84.8
SOLUTION
Calculate the amount of SO3 in moles: x=[SO3]=0.36⋅1+4.84.8Amount of SO3=x×5.0LCalculate the numerical value to find the amount in moles. The amount of SO3 in the container at equilibrium is approximately: 0.72moles
