Question

The equilibrium constant for the following reaction is 0.16 M0.5 at 3000 K:

CO2(g) ↔ CO(g) + 0.5O2(g)

Determine Qc if the following amounts (in moles) of each component is placed in a 3.00 L container.

CO2 0.740
CO 0.470
O2 0.590

Give answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer 1

CO2(g) ↔ CO(g) + 0.5O2(g)
Quantities are given in mols and the volume is 3.00 L. Calculate M = moles/L for each, substitute each into the Qc expression and solve for Qc.
Qc = (CO)(O2)^1/2/(CO2)
