Question
The equilibrium constant for the reaction
The equilibrium constant for the reaction NOBr(g) NO(g) + 1/2 Br 2(g) is K eq = 4.01e+00 at 171 K. Calculate K eq for the reaction NO(g) + 1/2 Br 2(g) NOBr(g) at this temperature and figure out whether the equilibrium favors NO and Br 2 or NOBr at this temperature. Pick the correct choice from below. K eq = 1.61e+01; At this temperature the reaction favors NOBr. K eq = 4.99e-01; At this temperature the reaction favors NOBr. K eq = 2.00e+00; At this temperature the reaction favors NO and Br 2. K eq = 6.21e-02; At this temperature the reaction favors NO and Br2. K eq = 2.49e-01; At this temperature the reaction favors NO and Br 2.
Explanation / Answer
Keq = 2.49e-01; At this temperature the reaction favors NO and Br2.
