The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will proceed step by step to find the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the reaction \( A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D \). ### Step 1: Define Initial Concentrations Let the initial concentration of \( B \) be \( a \) M. According to the problem, the initial concentration of \( A \) is twice that of \( B \): - Initial concentration of \( A = 2a \) M - Initial concentration of \( B = a \) M - Initial concentration of \( C = 0 \) M - Initial concentration of \( D = 0 \) M ### Step 2: Set Up the Change in Concentrations Let \( x \) be the change in concentration of \( C \) and \( D \) at equilibrium. Therefore, the changes for \( A \) and \( B \) will be: - Change in concentration of \( A = -x \) - Change in concentration of \( B = -x \) - Change in concentration of \( C = +x \) - Change in concentration of \( D = +x \) ### Step 3: Write Equilibrium Concentrations At equilibrium, the concentrations will be: - Concentration of \( A = 2a - x \) - Concentration of \( B = a - x \) - Concentration of \( C = x \) - Concentration of \( D = x \) ### Step 4: Use Given Information It is given that the concentration of \( C \) at equilibrium is three times the equilibrium concentration of \( B \): \[ x = 3(a - x) \] Solving for \( x \): \[ x = 3a - 3x \\ x + 3x = 3a \\ 4x = 3a \\ x = \frac{3a}{4} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( x \) Back into Equilibrium Concentrations Now we can substitute \( x \) back into the equilibrium concentrations: - Concentration of \( A = 2a - \frac{3a}{4} = \frac{8a}{4} - \frac{3a}{4} = \frac{5a}{4} \) - Concentration of \( B = a - \frac{3a}{4} = \frac{4a}{4} - \frac{3a}{4} = \frac{a}{4} \) - Concentration of \( C = \frac{3a}{4} \) - Concentration of \( D = \frac{3a}{4} \) ### Step 6: Write the Expression for \( K_c \) The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is given by the expression: \[ K_c = \frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]} \] Substituting the equilibrium concentrations: \[ K_c = \frac{\left(\frac{3a}{4}\right)\left(\frac{3a}{4}\right)}{\left(\frac{5a}{4}\right)\left(\frac{a}{4}\right)} = \frac{\frac{9a^2}{16}}{\frac{5a^2}{16}} = \frac{9}{5} \] ### Step 7: Final Calculation Calculating \( K_c \): \[ K_c = \frac{9}{5} = 1.8 \] ### Conclusion The final value of the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is approximately 2 when rounded to the nearest integer.

To solve the problem, we will proceed step by step to find the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the reaction \( A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D \). ### Step 1: Define Initial Concentrations Let the initial concentration of \( B \) be \( a \) M. According to the problem, the initial concentration of \( A \) is twice that of \( B \): - Initial concentration of \( A = 2a \) M - Initial concentration of \( B = a \) M - Initial concentration of \( C = 0 \) M - Initial concentration of \( D = 0 \) M ...
