Question

6. What is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction?
C+02 = CO2

Answer 1

`\tt Kc=([CO_2])/([C][O_2])`

Further explanation

Given

Reaction

C+02 = CO2

Required

The equilibrium constant

Solution

The equilibrium constant is the ratio of concentration or pressure between the product and the reactant with each reaction coefficient raised

The equilibrium constant is based on the concentration (Kc) in a reaction

pA + qB -----> mC + nD

`\large {\boxed {\bold {Kc ~ = ~ \frac {[C] ^ m [D] ^ n} {[A] ^ p [B] ^ q}}}}`

So for the reaction :

C+O₂ ⇔ CO₂

`\tt Kc=([CO_2])/([C][O_2])`
