Consider the following reaction,equilibrium concentrations,and equilibrium constant at a particular temperature.Determine the equilibrium concentration of CO₂(g) .
NH₂COONH₄(s) ⇌ 2 NH₃(g) + CO₂(g) K_c = 1.58 × 10^-8
[NH₃]_eq = 2.9 × 10^-3 M

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is Kc = [NH3]^2[CO2]. Given [NH3] = 2.9 × 10^-3 M, substitute into the expression: 1.58 × 10^-8 = (2.9 × 10^-3)^2[CO2]. Solving for [CO2] gives approximately 1.9 × 10^-3 M.
