sulfur dioxide [SO2] and oxygen [O2] are 0.0191 M and 0.041 M, respectively.
Transcribed Image Text:The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2SO,(g) + O2(g) = 250;(g) is 3.1 x 102 at a certain temperature. Determine the equilibrium concentration of sulfur trioxide [SO3], if the equilibrium conce sulfur dioxide [SO2] and oxygen [O2] are 0.0191 M and 0.041 M, respectively.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: 

Equilibrium concentration  of [SO2] = 0.0191 M

Equilibrium concentration  of [O2] = 0.041 M

Kc = 3.1 * 102

 

Equation:                   2SO2 (g)  +   O2 (g)   2SO3 (g)

                         

                                Kc = [product] / [reactants]
