If two gases AB(2) and B(2)C are mixed, ...

If two gases `AB_(2)` and `B_(2)C` are mixed, following equilibria are readily established:
`AB_(2)(g)+B_(2)C(g)rarr AB_(3)(g)+BC(g)`,
`BC(g)+B_(2)C(g) rarr B_(3)C_(2)(g)`
If the reaction started only with `AB_(2)` with `B_(2)C`, then which of the following is necessarily true at equilibrium?

A

`[AB_(3)]_(eq)=[BC]_(eq)`

B

`[AB_(2)]_(eq)=[B_(2)C]_(eq)`

C

`[AB_(3)]_(eq)gt [B_(3)C_(2)]_(eq)`

D

`[AB_(3)]_(eq)gt [BC]_(eq)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two equilibria established when the gases \( AB_2 \) and \( B_2C \) are mixed: 1. **First Equilibrium**: \[ AB_2(g) + B_2C(g) \rightleftharpoons AB_3(g) + BC(g) \] 2. **Second Equilibrium**: \[ BC(g) + B_2C(g) \rightleftharpoons B_3C_2(g) \] ### Step-by-step Solution: **Step 1: Initial Conditions** - Let’s assume we start with \( x \) moles of \( AB_2 \) and \( y \) moles of \( B_2C \). Initially, we have: - \( [AB_2] = x \) - \( [B_2C] = y \) - \( [AB_3] = 0 \) - \( [BC] = 0 \) - \( [B_3C_2] = 0 \) **Step 2: Change in Concentrations** - Let \( A \) moles of \( AB_2 \) react with \( B_2C \) to form \( AB_3 \) and \( BC \). At equilibrium, we have: - \( [AB_2] = x - A \) - \( [B_2C] = y - A \) - \( [AB_3] = A \) - \( [BC] = A \) **Step 3: Second Reaction** - The \( BC \) produced can react with \( B_2C \) to form \( B_3C_2 \). Let \( Z \) moles of \( BC \) react: - At equilibrium, we have: - \( [BC] = A - Z \) - \( [B_2C] = y - A - Z \) - \( [B_3C_2] = Z \) **Step 4: Establishing Relationships** - From the above, we can summarize the concentrations at equilibrium: - \( [AB_2] = x - A \) - \( [B_2C] = y - A - Z \) - \( [AB_3] = A \) - \( [BC] = A - Z \) - \( [B_3C_2] = Z \) **Step 5: Analyzing the Options** 1. **Option A**: \( [AB_3] = [BC] \) - \( A \neq A - Z \) (since \( Z > 0 \)), so this is **false**. 2. **Option B**: \( [AB_2] = [B_2C] \) - \( x - A \) and \( y - A - Z \) cannot be determined to be equal without knowing \( x \) and \( y \), so this is **false**. 3. **Option C**: \( [AB_3] > [B_3C_2] \) - \( A > Z \) (since \( Z < A \)), so this is **true**. 4. **Option D**: \( [AB_3] > [BC] \) - \( A > A - Z \) (since \( Z > 0 \)), so this is **true**. ### Conclusion: At equilibrium, the necessarily true statements are: - \( [AB_3] > [B_3C_2] \) - \( [AB_3] > [BC] \)

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two equilibria established when the gases \( AB_2 \) and \( B_2C \) are mixed: 1. **First Equilibrium**: \[ AB_2(g) + B_2C(g) \rightleftharpoons AB_3(g) + BC(g) \] 2. **Second Equilibrium**: ...
