Which is the correct equilibrium constant expression for the following reaction? 2BrCl₃(g) Br₂(g) + 3Cl₂(g)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant expression must be written using the concentrations of the reactants and products, each raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. In this case, the expression is as follows: K_c = [Br₂] [Cl₂]3/[BrCl₃] Option A is incorrect because it does not include the stoichiometric coefficient of Cl2. Option B is incorrect because it multiplies the denominator by 15, which is not necessary. Option D is incorrect because it does not include the stoichiometric coefficient of BrCl. Option E is incorrect because it includes the stoichiometric coefficient of Cl2 as 3, which is incorrect (the stoichiometric coefficient of Cl2 is 6).
