N2​O4​0.05mol/L⇌2NO2​0.05mol/LKc​ = ?

For the reaction N2O4 ⇌ 2NO2, the equilibrium concentrations are [N2O4] = 0.05 mol/L, [NO2] = 0.05 mol/L. Find the equilibrium constant Kc.

[N2O4] = 0.05[NO2] = 0.05
Kc =
2.Easy
H2​0.1mol/L+I2​0.12mol/L⇌2HI0.12mol/LKc​ = ?

For the reaction H2 + I2 ⇌ 2HI, the equilibrium concentrations are [H2] = 0.1 mol/L, [I2] = 0.12 mol/L, [HI] = 0.12 mol/L. Find the equilibrium constant Kc.

[H2] = 0.1[I2] = 0.12[HI] = 0.12
Kc =
3.Medium
H2​I2​HII0.50.50C−x−x+2xE0.5 − x0.5 − x2x

0.5 mol/L of H₂ and 0.5 mol/L of I₂ are put in a container and react: H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI, with Kc = 50. Find the equilibrium concentration [H2].

[H₂]₀ = [I₂]₀ = 0.5 mol/LKc = 50
[H2] = mol/L
4.Medium
H2​I2​HII0.250.250C−x−x+2xE0.25 − x0.25 − x2x

0.25 mol/L of H₂ and 0.25 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 = 0.25 mol/LKc = 9
[H2] = mol/L
5.Hard
PCl5​PCl3​Cl2​I1.500C−x+x+xE1.5 − xxx

PCl₅ decomposes: PCl₅ ⇌ PCl₃ + Cl₂, with Kc = 0.08 at the reaction temperature. A container starts with 1.5 mol/L of PCl₅ only. Find the equilibrium concentration [Cl2].

[PCl₅]₀ = 1.5 mol/LKc = 0.08
[Cl2] = mol/L
6.Hard
PCl5​PCl3​Cl2​I0.800C−x+x+xE0.8 − xxx

PCl₅ decomposes: PCl₅ ⇌ PCl₃ + Cl₂, with Kc = 0.2 at the reaction temperature. A container starts with 0.8 mol/L of PCl₅ only. Find the equilibrium concentration [PCl5].

[PCl₅]₀ = 0.8 mol/LKc = 0.2
[PCl5] = mol/L
