Interpretation: Equilibrium expression for given reaction must be written.
Concept introduction: When the rate at which forward and backward reaction occur become equal such that concentration of reactants and products remains to be constant, that state is described as equilibrium. It is indicated by double sided arrow
For an equilibrium reaction:
The expression for equilibrium constant is:
Where,
a, b, c and d are coefficients of reactants.
Answer to Problem 6RQ
Equilibrium expression for given reaction:
Explanation of Solution
Concentration of Pure solids and liquids are never incorporated in the expression for equilibrium as their concentration remains to be unchanged through the reaction.
For reaction that involves sparingly soluble salt such as:
Equilibrium constant is:
Equilibrium expression for given reaction:
