Question

Fe (s) + 2 Ag+ (aq) ⇋ Fe2+(aq+) + 2 Ag(s) K = 0.98546

Hg2Cl2 (s) + 2 NaBr (aq) ⇋ 2 NaCl (aq) + Hg2Br2 (s) K = 996.2

Using the information above, determine the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction.

4 NaCl (aq) + 2 Hg2Br2 (s) ⇋ 2 Hg2Cl2 (s) + 4 NaBr (aq)

Report your answer on scientific notation (1.23e-4)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given reactions:

Fe (s) + 2 Ag+ (aq) ⇋ Fe2+(aq+) + 2 Ag(s) K = 0.98546

Hg2Cl2 (s) + 2 NaBr (aq) ⇋ 2 NaCl (aq) + Hg2Br2 (s) K = 996.2

We have to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction:

4 NaCl (aq) + 2 Hg2Br2 (s) ⇋ 2 Hg2Cl2 (s) + 4 NaBr (aq)
