Constants Periodic Table You may want to reference Section 15.8 while completing this problem. Consider the following reaction and associated equilibrium constant: Part A Kc 3.0 Find the equilibrium concentrations of A, B, and C for a = 1, b = 1, and c = 2, Assume that the initial concentrations of A and B are each 1.0 M and that no product is present at the beginning of the reaction Express your answer using two significant figures. Enter your answers separated by commas Submit Request Answer Part B Find the equilibrium concentrations of A' B, and C for a = 1' b = 1, and c = 1 . Assume that the initial concentrations of A and B are each 1.0 Mand that no product is present at the beginning of the reaction Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

part A

         A(g) +   B(g) <---> 2C(g)

initial   1 M       1 M          0

change    -x        -x           +2x

equil     1-x      1-x           2x

Kc = [C]^2/[A][B]

3 = (2X)^2/(1-X)^2

X = 0.464

[A] = 1-0.464 = 0.536 M

[B] = 1-0.464 = 0.536 M

[C] = 2*0.464 = 0.928 M

Part B

         A(g) +   B(g) <---> C(g)

initial   1 M       1 M          0

change    -x        -x           +x

equil     1-x      1-x           x

Kc = [C]/[A][B]

3 = (X)/(1-X)^2

X = 0.566

[A] = 1-0.566 = 0.434 M

[B] = 1-0.566 = 0.434 M

[C] = 2*0.566 = 1.132 M
