Chapter 6, Problem 88AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Equilibrium concentration of ${\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:Equilibrium constant is denoted by $K_{\text{eq}}$ and it is a ratio of concentration of product to reactant. Consider an equilibrium reaction as below.

  $\text{A}\rightleftharpoons \text{B}$

The expression used to calculate $K_{\text{eq}}$ is as follows:

  $K_{\text{eq}}=\frac{\left[\text{B}\right]}{\left[\text{A}\right]}$

Where,

• $K_{\text{eq}}$ is equilibrium constant.
• $\left[\text{B}\right]$ is concentration of B (product).
• $\left[\text{A}\right]$ is concentration of A (reactant).
