Calculating Chemical Equilibrium by using rate constants
« on: October 24, 2008, 12:27:26 AM »
We're given information (A, activation energy, Temperature) to calculate the rate constants for two rxns:

(NH4)2S (s) --> 2 NH3(g) + H2S(g)
2 NH3(g) + H2S(g) --> (NH4)2S(s)

How do I use it to calculate the equilibrium constant (K) for: (NH4)2S (s) <--> 2 NH3(g) + H2S(g) ?

Thanks!

Consider the rate of forward reaction and rate of backward reaction at equilibrium, write the two rate equations out and you will see.
No matters what results are waiting for us, it's nothing but the DESTINY!!!!!!!!!!!!
