decomposition of gases giving the Kc???
« on: October 07, 2010, 08:48:46 AM »
A 3L flask initially contains 1.533 mol of gas A and 0.4619 mol of gas B. Gas A decomposes according to:
3A <-> 2B + C
The equilibrium concentration of gas C is 0.1mol/L
Calculate the value of Kc?
I know that Kc = [ B]^2 [C] / [A]^3 but since we don't have either A or B concentrations at equilibrium we can't use it! I dont understand!
Thank you so much for helping.

Well, you have a concentration of C, and so an amount of C; From this you can get a created amount of B from the reaction by stoichoimetry, and so an amount of A used up...?
