The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The balanced chemical equation is: \[ 3A(g) + 4B(g) \rightleftharpoons 2C(g) + 3D(g) \] ### Step 2: Set up the initial concentrations Initially, we have: - Moles of A = 3 - Moles of B = 4 - Moles of C = 0 - Moles of D = 0 ### Step 3: Define the change in moles at equilibrium Let \( x \) be the change in moles of A and B that react. According to the stoichiometry of the reaction: - For every 3 moles of A that react, 4 moles of B react, producing 2 moles of C and 3 moles of D. Thus, at equilibrium: - Moles of A = \( 3 - x \) - Moles of B = \( 4 - \frac{4}{3}x \) - Moles of C = \( 2 \times \frac{2}{3}x \) - Moles of D = \( 3 \times \frac{2}{3}x \) ### Step 4: Use the information given to find \( x \) We are given that at equilibrium, there is 1 mole of C: \[ 2 \times \frac{2}{3}x = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{4}{3}x = 1 \] \[ x = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the equilibrium moles of A, B, C, and D Now we can find the moles of each substance at equilibrium: - Moles of A = \( 3 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \) - Moles of B = \( 4 - \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = 4 - 1 = 3 \) - Moles of C = 1 (given) - Moles of D = \( 3 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \) ### Step 6: Write the expression for the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[C]^2[D]^3}{[A]^3[B]^4} \] Substituting the equilibrium concentrations (assuming a volume of 1 L for simplicity): \[ K_c = \frac{(1)^2 \left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^3}{\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^3 \cdot (3)^4} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( K_c \) Calculating the values: \[ K_c = \frac{1 \cdot \left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^3}{\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^3 \cdot 81} \] This simplifies to: \[ K_c = \frac{1}{81} \] ### Final Answer The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is: \[ K_c = \frac{1}{81} \] ---
