Carbon monoxide (CO) reacts with hydrogen (H2) to form methane (CH4) and water (H20). CO(g) + 3H2(g) + CH4(g)+H20(9)
The reaction is at equilibrium at 1,000 K. The equilibrium constant of the reaction is 3.90. At equilibrium, the concentrations are as
follows.
[CO] = 0.30 M
[H2] = 0.10 M
[H20] = 0.020 M
What is the equilibrium concentration of CH, expressed in scientific notation?
0.0059
5.9 x 10-2
0.059
5.9 x 102

The equilibrium concentration of , expressed in scientific notation is

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each term raised to its stochiometric coefficients.

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

At eqm. conc.     (0.30) M     (0.10) M      (x) M   (0.020) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.059 M=  

Thus, the concentrations of at equilibrium is :

Concentration of = (x) M  =

The equilibrium concentration of , expressed in scientific notation is

Take in carbon dioxide, reduces water loss
