Answer to Problem 14.41QP

Solution

The equilibrium constant of the given reaction at same temperature is 4.8×10-2_ .

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given reactions are,

2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)SO2(g)+12O2(g)SO3(g)

The equilibrium constant Kc1 for the first above reaction and at constant temperature is 2.4×103 .

For a simple reaction,

aA+bBcC+dD

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is expressed as,

Kc=[C]c[D]d[A]a[B]b

Where,

  • [C] is the molar concentration of C .
  • [D] is the molar concentration of D .
  • [B] is the molar concentration of B .
  • [A] is the molar concentration of A .
  • c is the molar coefficient of C .
  • d is the molar coefficient of D .
  • b is the molar coefficient of B .
  • a is the molar coefficient of A .

The expression for the equilibrium constant of first (Kc1) given reaction is,

Kc1=[SO3(g)]2[SO2(g)]2[O2(g)] (1)

The expression for the equilibrium constant of second (Kc2) given reaction is,

Kc2=[SO3(g)]1[SO2(g)]1[O2(g)]12 (2)

Where,

  • [SO3(g)] is the molar concentration of SO3(g) .
  • [SO2(g)] is the molar concentration of SO2(g) .
  • [O2(g)] is the molar concentration of O2(g) .

Divide equation (1) with (2).

Kc1Kc2=[SO3(g)]2[SO2(g)]2[O2(g)][SO3(g)]1[SO2(g)]1[O2(g)]12Kc1Kc2=[SO3(g)]2[SO2(g)]2[O2(g)]×[SO2(g)]1[O2(g)]12[SO3(g)]1Kc1Kc2=[SO3(g)]21[SO2(g)]21[O2(g)]112Kc1Kc2=[SO3(g)]1[SO2(g)]1[O2(g)]12 (3)

Compare equation (3) with (2).

Kc1Kc2=Kc2(Kc2)2=Kc1Kc2=Kc1 (4)

Substitute the value of Kc1 in equation (4).

Kc2=2.4×103=4.8×102

Thus, the equilibrium constant of the given reaction at same temperature is 4.8×10-2_ .

Answer to Problem 14.41QP

Solution

The equilibrium constant (Kc2') of the given reaction at same temperature is 4.1×102_ .

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given reactions are,

2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)2SO3(g)2SO2(g)+O2(g)

The equilibrium constant Kc1 for the first above reaction and at constant temperature is 2.4×103 .

For a simple reaction,

aA+bBcC+dD

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is expressed as,

Kc=[C]c[D]d[A]a[B]b

Where,

  • [C] is the molar concentration of C .
  • [D] is the molar concentration of D .
  • [B] is the molar concentration of B .
  • [A] is the molar concentration of A .
  • c is the molar coefficient of C .
  • d is the molar coefficient of D .
  • b is the molar coefficient of B .
  • a is the molar coefficient of A .

The expression for the equilibrium constant of second (Kc2') given reaction is,

Kc2'=[SO2(g)]2[O2(g)][SO3(g)]2 (5)

Where,

  • [SO3(g)] is the molar concentration of SO3(g) .
  • [SO2(g)] is the molar concentration of SO2(g) .
  • [O2(g)] is the molar concentration of O2(g) .

Multiply equation (1) with (5).

Kc1×Kc2'=[SO3(g)]2[SO2(g)]2[O2(g)]×[SO2(g)]2[O2(g)][SO3(g)]2Kc1×Kc2'=1Kc2'=1Kc1 (6)

Substitute the value of Kc1 in equation (6).

Kc2'=12.4×103Kc2'=4.1×102

Thus, the equilibrium constant (Kc2') of the given reaction at same temperature is 4.1×102_ .

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The equilibrium constant (Kc2'') for the given reaction at same temperature.

Answer to Problem 14.41QP

Solution

The equilibrium constant (Kc2'') of the given reaction at same temperature is 2.02_ .

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The given reactions are,

2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)SO3(g)SO2(g)+12O2(g)

The equilibrium constant Kc1 for the first above reaction and at constant temperature is 2.4×103 .

For a simple reaction,

aA+bBcC+dD

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is expressed as,

Kc=[C]c[D]d[A]a[B]b

Where,

  • [C] is the molar concentration of C .
  • [D] is the molar concentration of D .
  • [B] is the molar concentration of B .
  • [A] is the molar concentration of A .
  • c is the molar coefficient of C .
  • d is the molar coefficient of D .
  • b is the molar coefficient of B .
  • a is the molar coefficient of A .

The expression for the equilibrium constant of second (Kc2'') given reaction is,

Kc2''=[SO2(g)]1[O2(g)]12[SO3(g)]1 (7)

Where,

  • [SO3(g)] is the molar concentration of SO3(g) .
  • [SO2(g)] is the molar concentration of SO2(g) .
  • [O2(g)] is the molar concentration of O2(g) .

Multiply equation (1) with (7).

Kc1×Kc2''=[SO3(g)]2[SO2(g)]2[O2(g)]×[SO2(g)]1[O2(g)]12[SO3(g)]1Kc1×Kc2''=[SO3(g)]21[SO2(g)]21[O2(g)]112Kc1×Kc2''=[SO3(g)]1[SO2(g)]1[O2(g)]12 (8)

Compare equation (8) with (7).

Kc1×Kc2''=1Kc2(Kc2'')2=1Kc1Kc2''=1Kc1 (9)

Substitute the value of Kc1 in equation (9).

Kc2''=12.4×103=4.1×102=2.02

Thus, the equilibrium constant (Kc2'') of the given reaction at same temperature is 2.02_ .

Conclusion

  1. a. The equilibrium constant (Kc2) of the given reaction at same temperature is 4.8×10-2_ .
  2. b. The equilibrium constant (Kc2') of the given reaction at same temperature is 4.1×102_ .
  3. c. The equilibrium constant (Kc2'') of the given reaction at same temperature is 2.02_ .
