The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the reaction and the given conditions systematically. ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The reaction is given as: \[ A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D \] ### Step 2: Define initial concentrations We are told that the initial concentrations of \( A \) and \( B \) are equal. Let's assume: \[ [A]_0 = [B]_0 = 1 \, \text{M} \] ### Step 3: Define the change in concentrations at equilibrium Let \( \alpha \) be the degree of dissociation. At equilibrium, the concentrations will change as follows: - For \( A \) and \( B \): \[ [A] = 1 - \alpha \] \[ [B] = 1 - \alpha \] - For \( C \) and \( D \): \[ [C] = \alpha \] \[ [D] = \alpha \] ### Step 4: Use the information given about \( C \) We know that the concentration of \( C \) at equilibrium is twice that of \( A \): \[ [C] = 2[A] \] Substituting the expressions we have: \[ \alpha = 2(1 - \alpha) \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( \alpha \) Now, we can solve the equation: \[ \alpha = 2(1 - \alpha) \\ \alpha = 2 - 2\alpha \\ \alpha + 2\alpha = 2 \\ 3\alpha = 2 \\ \alpha = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the equilibrium concentrations Now we can find the equilibrium concentrations: - For \( A \): \[ [A] = 1 - \alpha = 1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \] - For \( B \): \[ [B] = 1 - \alpha = \frac{1}{3} \] - For \( C \): \[ [C] = \alpha = \frac{2}{3} \] - For \( D \): \[ [D] = \alpha = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 7: Write the expression for the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]} \] Substituting the equilibrium concentrations: \[ K_c = \frac{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)} = \frac{\frac{4}{9}}{\frac{1}{9}} = 4 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the reaction is: \[ K_c = 4 \]
