The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction A + B ⇌ C is 4. If the initial concentrations of A and B are 1 M each, what is [C] at equilibrium?
Q1. The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction A + B ⇌ C is 4. If the initial concentrations of A and B are 1 M each, what is [C] at equilibrium?
Answer: 0.67 M
Explanation: Using Kc = [C]/[A][B] and assuming x M react, 4 = x/(1-x)², solving gives x = 0.67 (approx).
