The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given reaction and the conditions at equilibrium. The reaction is: \[ 2A(g) + B(g) \rightleftharpoons 3C(g) + D(g) \] Initially, we have: - 2 moles of \( A \) - 2 moles of \( B \) - 0 moles of \( C \) - 0 moles of \( D \) ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set Up the Initial Conditions:** - At time \( t = 0 \): - Moles of \( A = 2 \) - Moles of \( B = 2 \) - Moles of \( C = 0 \) - Moles of \( D = 0 \) 2. **Define the Change in Moles at Equilibrium:** - Let \( x \) be the moles of \( B \) that are consumed at equilibrium. - According to the stoichiometry of the reaction: - For every 1 mole of \( B \) consumed, 2 moles of \( A \) are consumed. - Therefore, the moles of \( A \) consumed will be \( 2x \). - The moles of \( C \) formed will be \( 3x \). - The moles of \( D \) formed will be \( x \). 3. **Calculate Moles at Equilibrium:** - Moles of \( A \) at equilibrium: \[ 2 - 2x \] - Moles of \( B \) at equilibrium: \[ 2 - x \] - Moles of \( C \) at equilibrium: \[ 3x \] - Moles of \( D \) at equilibrium: \[ x \] 4. **Analyze the Given Options:** - **Option A:** At equilibrium, the concentration of \( A \) is equal to the concentration of \( B \). - This implies \( 2 - 2x = 2 - x \). Solving this gives \( x = 0 \), which means no reaction has occurred, hence this option is incorrect. - **Option B:** The concentration of \( A \) is less than the concentration of \( B \). - This implies \( 2 - 2x < 2 - x \). This is true for \( x > 0 \), so this option is correct. - **Option C:** The concentration of \( B \) is equal to the concentration of \( C \). - This implies \( 2 - x = 3x \). Solving gives \( 2 = 4x \) or \( x = \frac{1}{2} \). This is a specific condition and not always true, hence this option is incorrect. - **Option D:** The concentration of \( C \) is equal to the concentration of \( D \). - This implies \( 3x = x \), which is only true if \( x = 0 \), hence this option is also incorrect. 5. **Conclusion:** - The only option that must always be true when the system attains equilibrium is **Option B**: The concentration of \( A \) is less than the concentration of \( B \). ### Final Answer: The correct option is **B**: The concentration of \( A \) is less than the concentration of \( B \).

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given reaction and the conditions at equilibrium. The reaction is: \[ 2A(g) + B(g) \rightleftharpoons 3C(g) + D(g) \] Initially, we have: - 2 moles of \( A \) - 2 moles of \( B \) - 0 moles of \( C \) ...
