Determine the Kc for the following reaction at 355 K if 4.00 moles each of I2 and Cl2 were entered initially into an empty 5.00 liter flask. At equilibrium, 1.09 moles of ICl were measured (at 355K). 2 ICl (g) <-> I2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

a) 0.189 b) 10.0 c) 7.43 d) 6.56 e) 0.846 f) 0.0543

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given , moles of I2 initially = 4.00 mol

           moles of Cl2 initially = 4.00 mol

           volume of flask = 5.00 L

          moles of ICl at equilibrium = 1.09 mol

Now, let us calculate the concentration of each species,

         Initial concentration of I2 = Moles of I2 initially/Volume

                                                  = 4.00 mol/5.00L

                                                  = 0.8 M

        Initial concentration of Cl2 = Moles of Cl2 initially/Volume

                                                  = 4.00 mol/5.00L

                                                  = 0.8 M

        Equilibrium concentration of ICl = Moles of ICl at equilibrium/Volume

                                                            = 1.09 mol/5.00L

                                                            = 0.218 M
