Answer

A) 1 B) 3.8

Work Step by Step

a) qc = [R]/[Q] = 50/50 = 1 since, qc < Kc so, reaction will move in forward direction to generate more R. b) Q R 50 50 intial 50-x 50+x at equlibrium Kc = [R]/[Q] 25 (50+x)/(50-x) 1250 - 25x = 50+x 1200 = 26x x = 46.2 so, at equlibrium [R] = 50 + X = 50 + 46.2 = 96.2 × 10^-6 M [Q] = 50 - X = 50 - 46.2 = 3.8 × 10^-6 M
