The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation. The reaction given is: \[ H_2(g) + CO_2(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2O(g) + CO(g) \] ### Step 2: Set up the initial concentrations. Initially, we have: - \([H_2] = 0.6 \, \text{mol/L}\) - \([CO_2] = 0.6 \, \text{mol/L}\) - \([H_2O] = 0 \, \text{mol/L}\) - \([CO] = 0 \, \text{mol/L}\) ### Step 3: Define the change in concentration at equilibrium. Let \(x\) be the change in concentration of \(H_2O\) and \(CO\) formed at equilibrium. Thus, we can express the equilibrium concentrations as: - \([H_2] = 0.6 - x\) - \([CO_2] = 0.6 - x\) - \([H_2O] = x\) - \([CO] = x\) ### Step 4: Write the expression for the equilibrium constant \(K_c\). The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[H_2O][CO]}{[H_2][CO_2]} \] Substituting the equilibrium concentrations: \[ K_c = \frac{x \cdot x}{(0.6 - x)(0.6 - x)} = \frac{x^2}{(0.6 - x)^2} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the value of \(K_c\). Given that \(K_c = 4\), we can set up the equation: \[ 4 = \frac{x^2}{(0.6 - x)^2} \] ### Step 6: Cross-multiply and simplify. Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 4(0.6 - x)^2 = x^2 \] Expanding the left side: \[ 4(0.36 - 1.2x + x^2) = x^2 \] \[ 1.44 - 4.8x + 4x^2 = x^2 \] ### Step 7: Rearrange the equation. Rearranging gives: \[ 4x^2 - x^2 - 4.8x + 1.44 = 0 \] \[ 3x^2 - 4.8x + 1.44 = 0 \] ### Step 8: Solve the quadratic equation. Using the quadratic formula \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\): Here, \(a = 3\), \(b = -4.8\), and \(c = 1.44\): \[ x = \frac{-(-4.8) \pm \sqrt{(-4.8)^2 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 1.44}}{2 \cdot 3} \] Calculating the discriminant: \[ (-4.8)^2 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 1.44 = 23.04 - 17.28 = 5.76 \] Now substituting back: \[ x = \frac{4.8 \pm \sqrt{5.76}}{6} \] Calculating \(\sqrt{5.76} = 2.4\): \[ x = \frac{4.8 \pm 2.4}{6} \] Calculating the two possible values for \(x\): 1. \(x = \frac{7.2}{6} = 1.2\) (not possible since initial concentration is 0.6) 2. \(x = \frac{2.4}{6} = 0.4\) ### Step 9: Determine the equilibrium concentration of \(H_2O\). Thus, the equilibrium concentration of \(H_2O\) is: \[ [H_2O] = x = 0.4 \, \text{mol/L} \] ### Final Answer: The equilibrium concentration of \(H_2O(g)\) is \(0.4 \, \text{mol/L}\). ---
