The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the equilibrium system given by the equation: \[ P_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons 2Q_{(g)} + R_{(g)} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Equilibrium Expression**: The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the reaction can be expressed as: \[ K_c = \frac{[Q]^2 [R]}{1} \] Since \( P \) is a solid, its concentration is constant and does not appear in the expression. 2. **Let the Initial Concentrations be Defined**: Let the initial concentration of \( Q \) be \( [Q] \) and the initial concentration of \( R \) be \( [R] \). Thus, the equilibrium expression can be written as: \[ K_c = [Q]^2 [R] \] 3. **Consider the Change in Concentration of \( Q \)**: According to the problem, the concentration of \( Q \) is doubled at equilibrium. Therefore, the new concentration of \( Q \) is: \[ [Q]_{new} = 2[Q] \] 4. **Substitute the New Concentration into the Equilibrium Expression**: The new equilibrium expression with the doubled concentration of \( Q \) becomes: \[ K_c = (2[Q])^2 [R_{new}] \] Simplifying this gives: \[ K_c = 4[Q]^2 [R_{new}] \] 5. **Set the Two Equilibrium Expressions Equal**: Since \( K_c \) remains constant, we can set the two expressions for \( K_c \) equal to each other: \[ [Q]^2 [R] = 4[Q]^2 [R_{new}] \] 6. **Cancel Out \( [Q]^2 \)**: Dividing both sides by \( [Q]^2 \) (assuming \( [Q] \neq 0 \)): \[ [R] = 4[R_{new}] \] 7. **Solve for the New Concentration of \( R \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ [R_{new}] = \frac{[R]}{4} \] ### Conclusion: The concentration of \( R \) at the new equilibrium is \( \frac{1}{4} \) times its original concentration. ### Final Answer: The concentration of \( R \) at equilibrium will be \( \frac{1}{4} \) times the original concentration. ---
