Chapter 12, Problem 140QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The best option which describes the given condition is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Consider a general reaction as shown below.

$\text{aA}+b\text{B}\to c\text{C}+d\text{D}$

For a general reaction, the equilibrium expression is as follows:

$\text{Keq=}\frac{{\left[\text{C}\right]}^c{\left[\text{D}\right]}^d}{{\left[\text{A}\right]}^a{\left[\text{B}\right]}^b}$

Here, $a,b,c$ , and $d$ are stoichiometric coefficients.
