Consider the following reaction:
cus(s) + o2(g) ⇌ cu(s) + so2(g)
a reaction mixture initially contains 2.9 m o2.

determine the equilibrium concentration of o2 if kc for the reaction at this temperature is 1.5.

1.2 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reversible reaction.

CuS(s) + O₂(g) ⇌ Cu(s) + SO₂(g)

To find the equilibrium concentration of O₂ we will use an ICE Chart. We will only consider gases and aqueous species since the activity of solids and liquids is 1.

    CuS(s) + O₂(g) ⇌ Cu(s) + SO₂(g)

I                    2.9                      0

C                    -x                      +x

E                  2.9-x                     x

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is:

The concentration of O₂ at equilibrium is:

[O₂] = 2.9 -x = 2.9 - 1.7 = 1.2 M

Gentamicin Sulfate Solution is recommended for the control of bacterial infections of the uterus (metritis) in horses and as an aid in improving conception in mares with uterine infections caused by bacteria sensitive to gentamicin.
