Has a standard free‑energy change of − 3.59 kJ / mol at 25 °C. What are the concentrations of A , B , and C at equilibrium if, at the beginning of the reaction, their concentrations are 0.30 M, 0.40 M, and 0 M, respectively?

The concentrations of A , B , and C at equilibrium are 0.1583 M, 0.2583 M, and 0.1417 M.

Explanation:

The reaction equation is as follows.

Initial :     0.3   0.4          0

Change:  -x       -x           x

Equilbm: (0.3 - x)  (0.4 - x)  x  

We know that, relation between standard free energy and equilibrium constant is as follows.

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                x = 0.1417

Hence, at equilibrium

       = 0.1583 M

       = 0.2583 M
