If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what is the equilibrium concentration of each gas? = M = M

Consider the isomerization of butane with equilibrium constant is 2.5 .The system is originally at equilibrium with :

[butane]=1.0 M , [isobutane]=2.5 M

If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what is the equilibrium concentration of each gas?

The equilibrium concentration of each gas:

[Butane] = 1.14 M

[isobutane] = 2.86 M

Explanation:

Butane  ⇄  Isobutane

At equilibrium

1.0 M               2.5 M

After addition of 0.50 M of butane:

(1.0 + 0.50) M               -

After equilibrium reestablishes:

(1.50-x)M            (2.5+x)

The equilibrium expression will wriiten as:

x = 0.36 M

The equilibrium concentration of each gas:

[Butane]= (1.50-x) = 1.50 M - 0.36M = 1.14 M

[isobutane]= (2.5+x) = 2.50 M + 0.36 M = 2.86 M

just did the assignment and the answer was #1 +2 n
