Question
Consider the reaction for the decomposition of hydrogen disulfide:
2 H₂S (g)
2 H₂ (g) + S2 (g)
Kc = 1.67 x 10-7 at 800°C
A 0.500 L reaction vessel initially contains 1.25 x 10-4 mol of H₂S at 800°C. Find the
equilibrium concentration of H₂S.
*Note - this is a successive approximation problem, but can be solved using the
approximation method. This one will be over the 5% rule, but 5.6% is ok for this problem.
