Chapter 15, Problem 15.145MP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium amounts of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$, ${\text{D}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and $\text{HDO}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

At the equilibrium condition, the number is used to express the relationship between reactants and products at the given temperature in a reversible chemical heat reaction, is equilibrium constant.

For a reversible chemical reaction:

$\text{aA + bB }\to \text{cC + dD}$

The equilibrium constant $\text{K}$ is given by the following expression:

$\text{K = }{\left[\text{C}\right]}^{\text{c}}\text{·}{\left[\text{D}\right]}^{\text{d}}\text{/}{\left[\text{A}\right]}^{\text{a}}\text{·}{\left[\text{B}\right]}^{\text{b}}$

Where,

Equilibrium concentration of $\text{A}$ : $\left[\text{A}\right]$

Equilibrium concentration of $\text{B}$ : $\left[\text{B}\right]$

Equilibrium concentration of $\text{C}$ : $\left[\text{C}\right]$

Equilibrium concentration of $\text{D}$ : $\left[\text{D}\right]$
