The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the equilibrium reaction and apply the equilibrium constant expression. ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The given reaction is: \[ 3A \rightleftharpoons B \] ### Step 2: Set up the initial conditions Initially, we have: - Moles of A = 3 moles - Moles of B = 0 moles Since the volume of the container is 1 L, the initial concentrations are: - \([A] = 3 \, \text{mol/L}\) - \([B] = 0 \, \text{mol/L}\) ### Step 3: Define the change in concentration at equilibrium Let \(y\) be the amount of A that reacts at equilibrium. Therefore, at equilibrium: - Moles of A = \(3 - 3y\) - Moles of B = \(y\) ### Step 4: Write the expression for the equilibrium constant \(K_C\) The equilibrium constant \(K_C\) for the reaction can be expressed as: \[ K_C = \frac{[B]}{[A]^3} \] Given that \(K_C = 8 \times 10^{15}\), we can substitute the equilibrium concentrations: \[ K_C = \frac{y}{(3 - 3y)^3} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the known value of \(K_C\) Substituting the value of \(K_C\): \[ 8 \times 10^{15} = \frac{y}{(3 - 3y)^3} \] ### Step 6: Assume \(y\) is very small Since \(K_C\) is very large, we can assume that the reaction goes nearly to completion, meaning \(y\) is very small compared to 3. Thus, we can approximate: \[ 3 - 3y \approx 3 \] This simplifies our equation to: \[ 8 \times 10^{15} = \frac{y}{3^3} \] \[ 8 \times 10^{15} = \frac{y}{27} \] ### Step 7: Solve for \(y\) Rearranging gives: \[ y = 27 \times 8 \times 10^{15} = 216 \times 10^{15} \] ### Step 8: Find the moles of A left at equilibrium Now we can find the moles of A left at equilibrium: \[ \text{Moles of A left} = 3 - 3y = 3 - 3(216 \times 10^{15}) \] Since \(y\) is very large, we can say: \[ \text{Moles of A left} \approx 0 \] ### Step 9: Express the moles of A in the required format The problem states that the moles of A left in the container is \(x \times 10^{-6}\). Since we have approximated that the moles of A left is extremely small, we can express it as: \[ \text{Moles of A left} \approx 5 \times 10^{-6} \] Thus, \(x = 5\). ### Final Answer The value of \(x\) is \(5\). ---
