Express the molar concentrations numerically.

Based on a Kc value of 0.260 and the data table given, what are the equilibrium concentrations of XY, X, and Y respectively?

Explanation / Answer


Part(B):


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

0.260 = (0.500-x)/(0.100+x)^2


=> x = 0.43

[XY] = 0.500 - 0.43 = 0.07 M

[X] = 0.100 + 0.43 = 0.53 M

[Y] = 0.100 + 0.43 = 0.53 M

Part(C):

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

0.260 = (0.300-x)(0.300-x)/(0.200+x)

0.260 = ((0.300-x)(0.300-x))/(0.200+x)

=> x = 0.05

[XY] = 0.200 + 0.05 = 0.250 M

[X] = 0.300 - 0.05 = 0.250 M

[Y] = = 0.300 - 0.05 = 0.250 M
