Question

For the equilibrium Br₂(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇌ 2 BrCl(g) at 400 K, K_c = 7.0. If 0.32 mol of Br₂ and 0.32 mol of Cl₂ are introduced into a 1.22 L container, what will be the equilibrium concentration of BrCl?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Bromine reacts with chlorine to form bromine monochloride. The equation for the balanced chemical reaction is as follows:

${Br}_{2} (g) + {Cl}_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 BrCl (g)$

The expression for the equilibrium constant for this reaction is as follows:

${Br}_{2} (g) + {Cl}_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 BrCl (g) K_{c} = \frac{{[BrCl]}^{2}}{[{Br}_{2}] [{Cl}_{2}]} = 7.0$
