Question

For A(g) <=> 2B(g) , Kc = 0.16 at 400 K. If 0.5 mol A is in a 1 L vessel, what is [B] at equilibrium?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Initial: [A] = 0.5 M , [B] = 0 . Let 2x = [B] , [A] = 0.5 - x . Kc = ([B]²/[A]) = ((2x)²/0.5 - x) = 0.16 , 4x² = 0.08 - 0.16x , x ≈ 0.1 , [B] = 0.2 M .
