Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating equilibrium concentrations and equilibrium constants (Kc) for chemical reactions involving nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3). The original poster presents two questions related to these calculations, including specific concentrations and conditions for each reaction.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to calculate the equilibrium concentration of NO2 based on given concentrations of N2 and O2, as well as to determine the value of Kc for a reaction involving SO3. Some participants express uncertainty about the calculations and seek verification of their answers.

Discussion Status

Participants are engaging with the problems presented, with some offering informal feedback on the calculations. There is a mix of attempts to verify answers and suggestions to seek additional help from other forums. The discussion reflects a range of understanding and engagement with the chemistry concepts involved.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the homework policy requiring an initial attempt at solving the problems before seeking help. There is an indication that the original poster may feel discouraged by the lack of responses.

i have 2 questions, i just don't seem to get , here it goes

at 25 degrees, kc = 1.6 x 10^-17 for the reaction

N2(subscript) (g) + 2O2(subscript)(g) ---- 2NO2(subscript)(g)

concentration of N2 = .0320 mol^-1
concentraion of O2 = .00860 molL^-1

calculate equilibrium concentraion of NO2(g)


the second question is :

for the following rxn

2SOsubscript2 (g) + Osubscrupt2(g) ---- 2SOsucript3 (g)

calculate valua of kc if 4 mol of SO3 is placed in a 2L container and allowed to reach equil.

equililbrium concentration of O2 = .500 mol/L^-1

can someone help please?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
my answer for kc was 1 for the 2nd question , can anyone verify that?
 
i guess everyones hates me ^_^
 
I'm no expert in Chemistry, but I can say that there aren't many chemists on these boards. Maybe you should try posting on the Chemistry boards if you have not already.
 
HW policy is that you take at least a blind swing at the problem.

"One" looks good for Q2.
 
i did take a swing at them both, that's why I am posting them here :D...but nvm now i got them right thanks for "attempting" to help everyone haha
