Explanation:

A mixture initially contains A, B, and C in the following concentrations: [A] = 0.550 M, [B] = 1.40 M, and [C] = 0.600 M. The following reaction occurs and equilibrium is established: A+2B<->C

At equilibrium, [A] = 0.430 M and [C] = 0.720 M. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc

Step 1: The balanced equation

A+2B<->C

Step 2: The initial concentrations

[A] = 0.550 M

[B]= 1.40 M

[C] = 0.600 M

Step 3: The concentraions at equilibrium

[A] = 0.550 -X = 0.430 M

[B]= 1.40 -2X M

[C] = 0.600 + X = 0.720 M

X = 0.120 M

[A] = 0.550 - 0.120 = 0.430 M

[B]= 1.40 -2*0.120 =  1.16 M

[C] = 0.600 + 0.120 = 0.720 M

Step 4: Calculate Kc

Kc = [C] / [A][B]²

Kc = 0.720 / (0.430*1.16²)

Kc = 1.244

The value of the equilibrium constant KC is 1.244

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml

it is stable as it is in group 0 which have full outer shells of electrons
