The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The given reaction is: \[ 3A \rightleftharpoons C + 2D \] ### Step 2: Set up the initial concentrations Let the initial concentration of A be \( [A]_0 \). At the start, the concentrations of C and D are both 0: - \( [A] = [A]_0 \) - \( [C] = 0 \) - \( [D] = 0 \) ### Step 3: Define the change in concentrations at equilibrium Let \( x \) be the amount of A that reacts at equilibrium. Then, the changes in concentrations will be: - \( [A] = [A]_0 - 3x \) - \( [C] = x \) - \( [D] = 2x \) ### Step 4: Use the information given in the problem According to the problem, at equilibrium, the concentration of D is twice that of A: \[ [D] = 2[A] \] Substituting the expressions for D and A: \[ 2x = 2([A]_0 - 3x) \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) Expanding the equation: \[ 2x = 2[A]_0 - 6x \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2x + 6x = 2[A]_0 \] \[ 8x = 2[A]_0 \] \[ x = \frac{[A]_0}{4} \] ### Step 6: Find the equilibrium concentrations Now substituting \( x \) back into the expressions for the concentrations: - \( [A] = [A]_0 - 3x = [A]_0 - 3\left(\frac{[A]_0}{4}\right) = [A]_0 - \frac{3[A]_0}{4} = \frac{[A]_0}{4} \) - \( [C] = x = \frac{[A]_0}{4} \) - \( [D] = 2x = 2\left(\frac{[A]_0}{4}\right) = \frac{[A]_0}{2} \) ### Step 7: Write the expression for \( K_c \) The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[C][D]^2}{[A]^3} \] Substituting the equilibrium concentrations: \[ K_c = \frac{\left(\frac{[A]_0}{4}\right)\left(\frac{[A]_0}{2}\right)^2}{\left(\frac{[A]_0}{4}\right)^3} \] ### Step 8: Simplify the expression Calculating the numerator: \[ [C][D]^2 = \left(\frac{[A]_0}{4}\right)\left(\frac{[A]_0^2}{4}\right) = \frac{[A]_0^3}{16} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ [A]^3 = \left(\frac{[A]_0}{4}\right)^3 = \frac{[A]_0^3}{64} \] Now substituting back into the \( K_c \) expression: \[ K_c = \frac{\frac{[A]_0^3}{16}}{\frac{[A]_0^3}{64}} \] ### Step 9: Final calculation This simplifies to: \[ K_c = \frac{64}{16} = 4 \] ### Conclusion The value of \( K_c \) is: \[ \boxed{4} \]
