Given the following reaction, the equilibrium expression will be:
4 CuO (s) + CH₄ (g) ? CO₂ (g) + 4 Cu (s) + 2 H₂O (g)

Question

Given the following reaction, the equilibrium expression will be: 4 CuO (s)+ CH₄ (g)? CO₂ (g)+ 4 Cu (s)+ 2 H₂O (g)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium expression for a reaction is written as 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. Solids are not included in the equilibrium expression, so only the gases (CH₄, CO₂, and H₂O in this case) are included.
