I with chemical equilibrium problems

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving a chemical equilibrium problem involving the reaction 3A + 2B ⇌ C + D with an equilibrium constant (K) of 1.00 x 10-3. The concentrations provided are A = 9.5 M, C = 0.0200 M, and D = 0.0200 M. Participants seek guidance on setting up the equilibrium expression and calculating the concentration of B using the formula K = [C]^c [D]^d / [A]^a [B]^b, where stoichiometric coefficients are applied. The answer options for B include 1.24, 0.0216, 0.00180, or 0.110 M.

1. okay so the equation is:
3A+2B---->C+D
K=1.00x10(to the negative third power)
A=9.5-M C=0.0200-M D=0.0200 what is B ?



3. the answer is either 1.24: 0.0216: : 0.00180 : or 0.110
(i don't remember) so what i don't get is HOW DO I SET UP THE PROBLEM? :confused:

go step by step if you can and if you know some sites that would help post those too o_O

If you have some chemical reaction:

aA + bB ----> cC + dD

At equilibrium, the concentration of A, B, C and D are related to the equilibrium constant, K:

<br /> K = \frac{[C]^c [D]^b}{[A]^a <b>^b}<br /> </b>

Where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients.

How can you apply this to the given problem?
