Chapter 17, Problem 43QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of equilibrium constant $K_{\text{c}}$ and ${\Delta }_{\text{r}}G°$ fro the reaction between ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$ and ${\text{Br}}^{-}\left(\text{aq}\right)$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The equilibrium state of a chemical reaction is the state at which the rate of reaction going into the forward direction becomes equal to the rate of reaction going into the backward direction.  It is denoted as $K_{\text{c}}$.  It is known as equilibrium constant of the reaction.  Equilibrium constant is a numerical value useful to predict whether the reaction will result to the formation of products or to the formation of reactants.
