Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction is 0.013
Explanation:
Initial concentration of [tex]NH_3[/tex] = 3.60 M
Initial concentration of [tex]O_2[/tex] = 3.60 M
The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,
[tex]4NH_3(g)+7O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2N_2O_4(g)+6H_2O(g)[/tex]
Initial conc. 3.60 M 3.60 M 0 M 0 M
At eqm. conc. (3.60-4x) M (3.60-7x) M (2x) M (6x) M
The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,
[tex]K_c=\frac{[N_2O_4]^2\times [H_2O]^6}{[NH_3]^4\times[Cl_2]}[/tex]
[tex][N_2O_4]=0.60M[/tex]
2x = 0.60 M
x= 0.30 M
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :
[tex]K_c=\frac{(2\times 0.30)^2\times (6\times 0.30)^6}{(3.60-3\times 0.30)^4\times (3.60-7\times 0.30)^7}[/tex]
[tex]K_c=0.013[/tex]
