The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction below is 0.00584 at a certain temperature. Br2(g) ⇌ 2Br(g) If the initial concentrations are [Br2] = 0.0345 M and [Br] = 0.0416 M, calculate the concentrations of these species at equilibrium.

Explanation:

Given that:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

             Br2(g)    ⇌  2Br(g)

Initially  0.0345M  0.0416M

Thus, the given reaction will proceed in the  backward direction

 The I.C.E table is as follows:

                       Br2(g)    ⇌  2Br(g)

I               0.0345                 0.0416

C                 +x                        -2x

E             (0.0345+x)            (0.0416 -2x)

= 0.00173056 - 0.0832x - 0.0832x + 4x² = 0.00584 (0.0345 +x)

= 0.00173056 - 0.166x + 4x² = 2.0148× 10⁻⁴ + 0.00584x

= 0.00173056 - 2.0148× 10⁻⁴ - 0.166x - 0.00584x + 4x²

= 0.00152908  - 0.17184x + 4x²

Solving by using Quadratic formula

x = 0.03038 or 0.0126

For x = 0.03038

At equilibrium

[Br₂] = (0.0345 + 0.03038) = 0.06488 M

[Br] =  (0.0416 -2(0.03038)) = - 0.01916 M

Since we have a negative value for [Br], we discard the value for x

For x = 0.0126

At equilibrium

[Br₂] = (0.0345 + 0.0126) = 0.0471 M

[Br] =  (0.0416 -2(0.0126)) = 0.0164 M

alienation, transformation, consumption, and the relativity of truth.

you can choose any one of these, they are all important themes.

these themes reflect the distinct sensibilities of both the modernist and postmodern aesthetic movements. (from google, you should paraphrase)

hope this !

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
