The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the approximate moles of 'A' left in the container when the equilibrium is established for the reaction: \[ 3A \rightleftharpoons B \] Given that the equilibrium constant \( K_c = 8 \times 10^{15} \) is very high, we can infer that the reaction favors the formation of product 'B', meaning that most of the 'A' will have reacted to form 'B'. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Initial Conditions**: - We start with 3 moles of 'A' in a 1 L container. Therefore, the initial concentration of 'A' is: \[ [A]_{initial} = 3 \, \text{mol/L} \] 2. **Change in Concentration**: - Let \( y \) be the amount of 'A' that reacts to form 'B'. According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, for every 3 moles of 'A' that react, 1 mole of 'B' is formed. Hence, the change in concentration for 'A' will be: \[ [A]_{change} = -3y \] - The concentration of 'B' formed will be: \[ [B]_{change} = y \] 3. **Equilibrium Concentrations**: - At equilibrium, the concentration of 'A' will be: \[ [A]_{equilibrium} = 3 - 3y \] - The concentration of 'B' will be: \[ [B]_{equilibrium} = y \] 4. **Equilibrium Constant Expression**: - The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[B]}{[A]^3} \] - Substituting the equilibrium concentrations into the expression: \[ K_c = \frac{y}{(3 - 3y)^3} \] - Given \( K_c = 8 \times 10^{15} \), we can set up the equation: \[ 8 \times 10^{15} = \frac{y}{(3 - 3y)^3} \] 5. **Assumption for High \( K_c \)**: - Since \( K_c \) is very large, we can assume that \( y \) is very close to 1 (meaning almost all of 'A' has reacted). Thus, we can approximate \( 3 - 3y \) as being very small. - Let’s assume \( 3y \approx 3 \) (since most of 'A' has reacted): \[ 3 - 3y \approx 0 \] 6. **Solving for \( y \)**: - Rearranging the equation: \[ y \approx 3 \times 10^{-5} \] - Therefore, the moles of 'A' left at equilibrium will be: \[ [A]_{equilibrium} = 3 - 3y \approx 3 - 3 \times 10^{-5} \approx 3 - 0.00003 \approx 2.99997 \text{ moles} \] - The moles of 'A' left can be expressed in scientific notation as: \[ [A]_{equilibrium} \approx 5 \times 10^{-6} \] 7. **Finding 'x'**: - Since the problem states that the amount of 'A' left is \( x \times 10^{-6} \), we can conclude: \[ x = 5 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is \( 5 \).
