The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the equilibrium reaction and the relationships between the concentrations of X, Y, and Z. ### Step 1: Write the equilibrium expression The given reaction is: \[ X + 2Y \rightleftharpoons Z \] ### Step 2: Identify initial concentrations The initial concentrations are: - \([X]_0 = 2 \, \text{mol/L}\) - \([Y]_0 = 4 \, \text{mol/L}\) - \([Z]_0 = 0 \, \text{mol/L}\) ### Step 3: Define changes in concentrations at equilibrium Let \( x \) be the amount of X that reacts at equilibrium. Then, we can express the equilibrium concentrations as: - \([X] = 2 - x\) - \([Y] = 4 - 2x\) - \([Z] = x\) ### Step 4: Analyze the relationships We need to check the feasibility of the following relationships: 1. \([X] < [Z]\) 2. \([X] > [Y]\) 3. \([X] < [Y]\) 4. \([Y] > [Z]\) #### Relationship 1: \([X] < [Z]\) From our expressions: \[ 2 - x < x \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 < 2x \] \[ x > 1 \] This is feasible since \( x \) can be greater than 1. #### Relationship 2: \([X] > [Y]\) From our expressions: \[ 2 - x > 4 - 2x \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x > 2 \] \[ x > 1 \] This is also feasible. #### Relationship 3: \([X] < [Y]\) From our expressions: \[ 2 - x < 4 - 2x \] This simplifies to: \[ x < 2 \] This is feasible as \( x \) can be less than 2. #### Relationship 4: \([Y] > [Z]\) From our expressions: \[ 4 - 2x > x \] This simplifies to: \[ 4 > 3x \] \[ x < \frac{4}{3} \] This is also feasible. ### Step 5: Identify the non-feasible relationship Now we need to check which of these relationships cannot hold true simultaneously. From the analysis: - Relationship 1 requires \( x > 1 \) - Relationship 2 requires \( x > 1 \) - Relationship 3 requires \( x < 2 \) - Relationship 4 requires \( x < \frac{4}{3} \) However, if we consider Relationship 2 (\([X] > [Y]\)), it requires \( x > 1 \) and Relationship 3 (\([X] < [Y]\)) requires \( x < 2 \). If we set \( x = 1.5 \), it satisfies Relationship 1 and 4, but fails Relationship 2. Therefore, the relationship \([X] > [Y]\) is not feasible. ### Conclusion The relationship among equilibrium concentrations of X, Y, and Z that is not feasible is: \[ [X] > [Y] \]
