Chapter 15, Problem 58E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of product, I is to be calculated with help of concentration of reactant and equilibrium constant value of a reaction mixture.

Concept Introduction:

The state of reaction mixture at which rate of forward reaction is equal to rate of backward reaction that state is known as equilibrium position of a reaction mixture.

The unit of product concentration at equilibrium is $\frac{\text{mol}}{\text{liter}}$ or $\text{M}$.

Equilibrium constant is dimensionless quantity.

The expression of equilibrium constant is ratio of concentration of product to the concentration of reactant.

${\text{K}}_{\text{eq}}\text{= }\frac{\left[\text{product}\right]}{\left[\text{reactant}\right]}$ where, $\left[\text{product}\right]$ is concentration of product and $\left[\text{reactant}\right]$ is concentration of reactant.
