COMEDK · Chemistry · 7. Chemical Equilibrium

An equilibrium mixture taken in 2litre vessel of the reaction: \(2\text{SO}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{SO}_3(g)\) has 4 moles of \(\text{SO}_2\), 3moles of \(\text{O}_2\) and 6moles of \(\text{SO}_3\) then the value of equilibrium constant \((K_c)\) will be:

  1. A 0.75 L mol\(^{-1}\)
  2. B 0.15 mol L\(^{-1}\)
  3. C 1.5 L mol\(^{-1}\)
  4. D 15 mol L\(^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.5 L mol\(^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given equilibrium reaction is: \(2\text{SO}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{SO}_3(g)\) The volume of the vessel is \(V = 2\) L. The equilibrium concentrations of the gases are: \([\text{SO}_2] = \dfrac{4}{2} = 2 \text{ mol L}^{-1}\)…
