Kc = 3.07 x 10-4 at 24°C for 2NOBr(g) ↔ 2NO(g) + Br2(g). If the initial concentration of NOBr = 0.878 M, what is the equilibrium concentration (in M to 4 decimal places) of NO?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.02124 M.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial concentration of NOBr = 0.878 M

[tex]k_{c}=3.07\times10^{-4}[/tex]

Temperature = 24°C

We know that,

The balance equation is

[tex]2NOBr\Rightarrow 2NO+Br_{2}[/tex]

Initial concentration is,

[tex]0.878\Rightarrow 0+0[/tex]

Concentration is,

[tex]-2x\Rightarrow 2x+x[/tex]

Equilibrium concentration

[tex]0.878-2x\Rightarrow 2x+x[/tex]

We need to calculate the value of x

Using formula of concentration

[tex]k_{c}=\dfrac{[NO][Br_{2}]}{[NOBr]^2}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]3.07\times10^{-4}=\dfrac{[2x][x]}{[0.878-2x]^2}[/tex]

[tex]2x^2=3.07\times10^{-4}\times(0.878)^2+3.07\times10^{-4}\times4x^2-2\times2x\times0.878\times3\times10^{-4}[/tex]

[tex]2x^2=0.0002367+0.001228x^2-0.0010536x[/tex]

[tex]2x^2-0.001228x^2+0.0010536x-0.0002367=0[/tex]

[tex]1.998772x^2+0.0010536x-0.0002367=0[/tex]

[tex]x=0, 0.01062[/tex]

We need to calculate the equilibrium concentration of NO

Using formula of concentration of NO

[tex]concentration\ of\ NO=2x[/tex]

Put the value of x

[tex]concentration\ of\ NO=2\times0.01062[/tex]

[tex]concentration\ of\ NO=0.02124[/tex]

Hence, The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.02124 M.
