Question

g For the reaction Ag2S(s)⇌2Ag+(aq)+S2−(aq)Ag2S(s)⇌2Ag+(aq)+S2−(aq), Keq=2.4×10−4Keq=2.4×10−4, and the equilibrium concentration of sulfide ion is [S2−]=0.0023M[S2−]=0.0023M. What is [Ag+]atequilibrium?

Answer 1

0.32 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced reaction at equilibrium

Ag₂S(s) ⇌ 2 Ag⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq)

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of Ag⁺ at equilibrium

We will use the formula for the concentration equilibrium constant (Keq), which is equal to the product of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. It only includes gases and aqueous species.

Keq = [Ag⁺]² × [S²⁻]

[Ag⁺] = √{Keq / [S²⁻]}

[Ag⁺] = √{2.4 × 10⁻⁴ / 0.0023} = 0.32 M
