The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Initial Concentrations Let the initial concentration of B be \( x \). According to the problem, the initial concentration of A is twice that of B, so: - Initial concentration of A = \( 2x \) - Initial concentration of B = \( x \) ### Step 2: Write the Change in Concentrations at Equilibrium The reaction is: \[ A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D \] Let \( \alpha \) be the change in concentration of A and B at equilibrium. Therefore, at equilibrium: - Concentration of A = \( 2x - \alpha \) - Concentration of B = \( x - \alpha \) - Concentration of C = \( \alpha \) - Concentration of D = \( \alpha \) ### Step 3: Use Given Information About Concentrations According to the problem, the concentration of C at equilibrium is three times the equilibrium concentration of B: \[ \alpha = 3(x - \alpha) \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( \alpha \) Rearranging the equation: \[ \alpha = 3x - 3\alpha \] \[ \alpha + 3\alpha = 3x \] \[ 4\alpha = 3x \] \[ \alpha = \frac{3x}{4} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( \alpha \) Back to Find Equilibrium Concentrations Now substituting \( \alpha \) back into the equilibrium concentrations: - Concentration of A = \( 2x - \frac{3x}{4} = \frac{8x}{4} - \frac{3x}{4} = \frac{5x}{4} \) - Concentration of B = \( x - \frac{3x}{4} = \frac{4x}{4} - \frac{3x}{4} = \frac{x}{4} \) - Concentration of C = \( \alpha = \frac{3x}{4} \) - Concentration of D = \( \alpha = \frac{3x}{4} \) ### Step 6: Write the Expression for \( K_c \) The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]} \] Substituting the equilibrium concentrations: \[ K_c = \frac{\left(\frac{3x}{4}\right)\left(\frac{3x}{4}\right)}{\left(\frac{5x}{4}\right)\left(\frac{x}{4}\right)} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the Expression Calculating the numerator: \[ K_c = \frac{\frac{9x^2}{16}}{\frac{5x^2}{16}} \] Canceling \( x^2 \) and simplifying: \[ K_c = \frac{9}{5} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is: \[ K_c = \frac{9}{5} \] ---
