2SO2​0.2mol/L+O2​0.4mol/L⇌2SO3​0.1mol/LKc​ = ?

For the reaction 2SO2 + O2 ⇌ 2SO3, the equilibrium concentrations are [SO2] = 0.2 mol/L, [O2] = 0.4 mol/L, [SO3] = 0.1 mol/L. Find the equilibrium constant Kc.

[SO2] = 0.2[O2] = 0.4[SO3] = 0.1
Kc =
2.Easy
H2​0.1mol/L+I2​0.4mol/L⇌2HI0.25mol/LKc​ = ?

For the reaction H2 + I2 ⇌ 2HI, the equilibrium concentrations are [H2] = 0.1 mol/L, [I2] = 0.4 mol/L, [HI] = 0.25 mol/L. Find the equilibrium constant Kc.

[H2] = 0.1[I2] = 0.4[HI] = 0.25
Kc =
3.Medium
H2​I2​HII0.10.10C−x−x+2xE0.1 − x0.1 − x2x

0.1 mol/L of H₂ and 0.1 mol/L of I₂ are put in a container and react: H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI, with Kc = 9. Find the equilibrium concentration [H2].

[H₂]₀ = [I₂]₀ = 0.1 mol/LKc = 9
[H2] = mol/L
4.Medium
H2​I2​HII0.40.40C−x−x+2xE0.4 − x0.4 − x2x

0.4 mol/L of H₂ and 0.4 mol/L of I₂ are put in a container and react: H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI, with Kc = 4. Find the equilibrium concentration [H2].

[H₂]₀ = [I₂]₀ = 0.4 mol/LKc = 4
[H2] = mol/L
5.Hard
PCl5​PCl3​Cl2​I0.800C−x+x+xE0.8 − xxx

PCl₅ decomposes: PCl₅ ⇌ PCl₃ + Cl₂, with Kc = 0.5 at the reaction temperature. A container starts with 0.8 mol/L of PCl₅ only. Find the equilibrium concentration [Cl2].

[PCl₅]₀ = 0.8 mol/LKc = 0.5
[Cl2] = mol/L
6.Hard
PCl5​PCl3​Cl2​I0.500C−x+x+xE0.5 − xxx

PCl₅ decomposes: PCl₅ ⇌ PCl₃ + Cl₂, with Kc = 0.1 at the reaction temperature. A container starts with 0.5 mol/L of PCl₅ only. Find the equilibrium concentration [Cl2].

[PCl₅]₀ = 0.5 mol/LKc = 0.1
[Cl2] = mol/L
