Question

Part B

Consider mixture B, which will cause the reaction to proceed forward:


Concentration (M)      [XY]                [X]      +      [Y]

                            I         0.500          0.100         0.100                  

                           C        -x                 + x              + x

                           E      0.500-x        0.100+ x    0.100+ x

Based on a Kc value of 0.200 the given data table, what are the equilibrium concentrations of XY, X, and Y respectively?


Express the molar concentrations numerically


Part C

Consider mixture C, which will cause the net reaction to proceed in reverse


Concentration (M)      [XY]                [X]      +       [Y]

                            I         0.200          0.300            0.300                  

                           C        +x                 - x                  - x

                           E      0.200 + x        0.300 - x     0.300 - x

Based on a Kc value of 0.20 and the data table given, what are the equilibrium concentrations of XY, X, and Y respectively?


Express the molar concentrations numerically




Explanation / Answer


(B) XY <=> X + Y

Kc = [X][Y]/[XY]

= (0.100 + x)(0.100 + x)/(0.500 - x) = 0.200


x^2 + 0.2x + 0.01 = 0.1 - 0.2x

x^2 + 0.4x - 0.09 = 0


The positive root of the quadratic equation is:

x = 0.1606


[XY] = 0.500 - x = 0.3394 M = 0.339 M

[X] = 0.100 + x = 0.2606 M = 0.261 M

[Y] = 0.100 + x = 0.2606 M = 0.261 M


(C) XY <=> X + Y

Kc = [X][Y]/[XY]

= (0.300 - x)(0.300 - x)/(0.200 + x) = 0.200


x^2 - 0.6x + 0.09 = 0.04 + 0.2x

x^2 - 0.8x + 0.05 = 0


The positive roots of the quadratic equation are:

x = 0.0683 and x = 0.7317 (not possible since x < 0.300)


[XY] = 0.200 + x = 0.2683 M = 0.268 M

[X] = 0.300 - x = 0.2317 M = 0.232 M

[Y] = 0.300 - x = 0.2317 M = 0.232 M
