Equilibrium Calculations An equilibrium system, at any given temperature, can be described by an equilibrium expression and equilibrium constant. aA + bB ⇌cC + dD Keq = Products Reactants Equilibrium ConstantExpression Keq = [C]c[D]d [A]a[B]b (aq) and (g) are included! (l) and (s) are not-constant concentration!
1. At equilibrium at 25oC, [SO3] = 0.200 M. [H2O] = 0.480 M, and [H2SO4] = 24 M. Calculate the Keq. Do not use ice! SO3(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ H2SO4(l) Keq = 1 [SO3] [H2O] don’t count (l)! Use 1 = 1 (0.200)(0.480) = 10.4 The Keq has no units but concentration units that go in the expression must be M!
2. 0.500 mole PCl5, 0.40 mole H2O, 0.200 mole HCl, and 0.400 mole POCl3 are found in a 2.0 L container at equilibrium at 125 oC. Calculate the Keq. PCl5(s) + H2O(g)⇄ 2HCl(g) + POCl3(g) Do not count the solid! [HCl] = 0.200 moles = 0.10 M 2.0 L [POCl] = 0.400 moles = 0.20 M 2.0 L [H2O] = 0.40 moles = 0.20 M 2.0 L Keq = [HCl]2[POCl3] [H2O] = (0.10)2(0.20)= 0.010 (0.20)
3. If 0.600 mole of SO3 and 0.0200 mole of SO2 are found in a 2.00 L container at equilibrium at 25 oC. Calculate the [O2]. 2SO2(g) + O2(g)⇄ 2SO3(g) Keq = 798 [SO3] = 0.600 mole/2.00 L = 0.300 M [SO2] = 0.0200 mole/2.00 L = 0.0100 M Keq = [SO 3]2 [SO2]2[O2] 798 = [0.300]2 1[0.0100]2[O2] (0.3)2 = 798(0.01)2[O2] [O2] = (0.3)2 = 1.13 M 798(0.01)2
