Chapter 6, Problem 6.5P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For given reaction, numerical value of equilibrium constant has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Equilibrium constant (K): In the equilibrium reaction, the ratio of concentration of the reactant and concentration of the product.  If value of K is small than 1 the reaction should be move to the left and k is more than 1 the reaction should be move to right.

For the reaction,

$\text{aA+bB}\stackrel{}{\rightleftharpoons }\text{cC+dD}$

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