Determine the value of Kc for the following reaction if the equilibrium concentrations are as follows: [P4O10]eq = 2.000 moles, [P4]eq = 3.000 moles, [O2]eq = 4.000 M P4O10(s) ↔ P4(s) + 5 O2(g)

Respuesta :

Answer : The value of [tex]K_c[/tex] for the following reaction will be, 1024

Explanation :

[tex]K_c[/tex] is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

[tex]P_4O_{10}(s)\rightleftharpoons P_4(s)+5O_2(g)[/tex]

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids are constant that means they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

[tex]K_c=[O_2]^5[/tex]

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

[tex]K_c=(4.000)^5[/tex]

[tex]K_c=1024[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]K_c[/tex] for the following reaction will be, 1024

The value of the equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 1,024.

How we calculate the equilibrium constant?

Equilibrium constant of any chemical reaction at the equilibrium state is calculated as:

Equilibrium constant Kc = Concentration of product / Concentration of reactant

Given chemical reaction is:

P₄O₁₀(s) → P₄(s) + 5O₂(g)

Equilibrium constant for the above reaction is written as:

Kc = [P₄][O₂]⁵ / [P₄O₁₀]

For this reaction only concentration of oxygen gas is taken into consideration, as all other quantities are present in solid form and their value at equilibrium is 1. So, value of Kc is calculated as:

Kc = [O₂]⁵

Given concentration of O₂ = 4M

Kc = (4)⁵ = 1,024

Hence, 1,024 is the value of Kc.
