If the starting mixture has 3.6 mol A(g), 3.6 mol B(g) and 1.2 mol C(g) in a 2L container
### Question 27

At 25°C, \( K = 0.0900 \) for the reaction \( \text{A(g)} + \text{B(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{C(g)} \). Calculate the concentration of \( \text{C(g)} \) at equilibrium if the starting concentrations of both \( \text{A(g)} \) and \( \text{B(g)} \) are 1.00 M.

Explanation:
This question involves calculating the equilibrium concentration of a product in a given chemical reaction using the equilibrium constant \( K \).

#### Step-by-step approach:

1. **Write the equilibrium expression:**
   For the reaction \( \text{A(g)} + \text{B(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{C(g)} \), the equilibrium constant, K, is given by
   \[
   K = \frac{[\text{C(g)}]^2}{[\text{A(g)}][\text{B(g)}]}.
   \]

2. **Set up the ICE table (Initial, Change, Equilibrium):**

   |       | A(g)   | B(g)   | C(g)  |
   |-------|--------|--------|-------|
   | Initial (M) | 1.00  | 1.00  | 0     |
   | Change (M)  | -x     | -x     | +2x  |
   | Equilibrium | 1.00-x| 1.00-x| 2x    |

3. **Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the equilibrium expression:**

   \[
   K = \frac{(2x)^2}{(1.00-x)(1.00-x)} = 0.0900.
   \]

4. **Solve for x:** This involves solving a quadratic equation, which yields the equilibrium concentrations.

5. **Calculate the equilibrium concentration of \( \text{C(g)} \).**
