Answer to Question #264482 in Inorganic Chemistry for jhel

Question

Write the mathematical expression for the reaction quotient, Qc, for each of the following reactions:

(a) CH4(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g)

(b) 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g)

(c) BaSO3(s) ⇌ BaO(s) + SO2(g)

 (d) CH4(g) + 2O2(g) ⇌ CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

(e) CO2(g) + H2(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H2O(g)

Answer 1

Qc describes a reaction that is not at the equilibrium.

a).$Qc=\dfrac{[CH_3Cl][HCl]]}{[CH_4][Cl]}$

b.)$Qc=\dfrac{[SO_3]^2}{[SO_2]^2[O_2]}$

c.$Qc=\dfrac{[BaO][SO_2]}{[BaSO_3]}$
