Homework Statement


2NS(g) + 2H2(g)<---> N2(g) + 2H2S(g) @ equilibrium in a 4.L flask @ 25o
C. 2.5 mol of eah component initially is put into the flask. At equilibrium, 2.5 mol of NS is present. what is Kc for the rxn at this temp??

Homework Equations



Kc=[products]/[reactants]
M=moles/L
initial - change = equilibrium

The Attempt at a Solution



Kc=1 i thought the answer is a little odd... because the intital and equilbrium is 2.5 moles for NS so I'm unsure about my answer... please help! geatly appreciates all help! thank you in advance.
if my answer is wrong...can someone show me how to do it i know how to set up Kc, but I am troubled when finding the intial, change and equilibrium of each components.

OK (let's assume HS is just a typo :wink:).

Question is a little bit strange, as it seems amount of NS have not changed. But that's not your problem - if amount of NS have not changed, there were no reaction, thus initial amount of other reactants have not changed either. Can you calculate what are their concentrations?

PS PLease check - just in case - if you have copied question exactly as it was written.
 
hehe yea i did make a typo..sorry
their initial concentration is .625 M. I took 2.5 n divided that by 4.0 L
2NS9g0 +2H2(g<-----> N2g) + 2H2S(g) at equilibrium in a 4.0L flask at 25oC. suppose 2.5 mol of each component initially is put into the flask. At equilibrium, 2.5 mol of NO is present. What is Kc for the reaction at this temperature?

Sigh...

Put know concentrations into reaction quotient.
