The question : Contain SO
2 1 mole, O
2 2 moles, SO
3 0.5 mol in a close system size 5.0 dm
3Which occurs this reaction 2SO
2 + O
2 2SO
3 when the system is in equilibrium state, there are SO
3 40% by moles. Find out equilibrium constant (k)
I try to solve it :
[SO
2] = 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2 M
[O
2] = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4 M
[SO
3] = 0.5 ÷ 5 = 0.1 M
SO
3 40% by mole = (1 + 2 + 0.5) × 40% = 1.4 mole
[SO
3] = 1.4 ÷ 5 = 0.28 M
so..
[SO
3]
0.1
+ 0.18 = 0.28 M
[SO
2]
0.2
- 0.18 = 0.02 M
[O
2]
0.4
- 0.09 = 0.31 M
k = [SO
3]
2 ÷ [So
2]
2[O
2]
= (0.28)
2 ÷ (0.02)
2(0.31) = 652.26
but my key book said that the answer is 76.9, what is wrong with my way to solve this question?
