Express the equilibrium constant for the following reaction. 16 CH₃Cl(g)+ 8 Cl₂(g)⇔ 16 CH₂Cl₂(g)+ 8 H_2(g)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant expression is written as Kc = ([CH₂Cl₂]^16[H^+]^8)/([CH₃Cl]^16[Cl₂]^8). The coefficients of the reactants and products become the exponents in the equilibrium constant expression, and the concentrations of the compounds are put in the numerator or denominator based on which side of the equation they are on. The correct answer is B because it matches the calculated value of the equilibrium constant.
