Interpretation:
The value of equilibrium constant for a given reaction is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The equilibrium constant is the ratio of molar concentration of products to the reactants. It is represented by
The formula is given as: there is a
Where,
a, b, c, and d are number of molecules.
Answer to Problem 14STP
Correct answer: C is correct
C.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
Given information: the given reaction is
According to the Le Chatelier’s principle, the equilibrium constant is the ratio of molar concentration of products to the molar concentration of reactants. It is represented by
Because the given reaction is a heterogeneous reaction in which product and reactants are in different phase. For heterogeneous reactions the concentration of pure liquids is unity. So, we get
Reasons for incorrect options:
- Not matches with calculated value.
- Not matches with calculated value.
- Not matches with calculated value.
