Equilibrium 12

⇐ To index

 

We have an equimolar mixture of two species, A2(g) and B2(g). They react at certain temperature, Ta, according to the following equilibrium reaction: A2(g) + B2(g) ⇄ 2 AB(g)

Considering that Kc= 36 for this reaction at Ta, which of the following diagrams best represents the composition of the mixture once the equilibrium has been reached?

 

Wrong. The reaction progress in this reaction is consistent with a Kc= 4.
Wrong. The reaction progress in this reaction is smaller than what corresponds to a Kc=36.
Right. The reaction progress corresponds to a Kc=36. See additional text.
Wrong. In this reaction all reagents have becomed products. It represent a non equilibrium reaction.
