An equilibrium mixture of CO,O₂ and CO₂ at a certain temperature contains 0.0010 M CO₂ and 0.0100 M O₂.At this temperature,K_c equals 1.4 × 10² for the reaction:
2 CO(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2 CO₂(g) .
What is the equilibrium concentration of CO?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the equilibrium expression Kc = [CO2]^2 / ([CO]^2 * [O2]), we can solve for [CO]. Substituting the given values and solving for [CO] gives approximately 8.4 × 10^-4 M.
