Question
A 6.00 mol sample of solid A was placed in a sealed 1.00 L container and allowed to decompose into gaseous B and C. The concentration of BB steadily increased until it reached 1.10 M, where it remained constant.

 

A(s)↽−−⇀B(g)+C(g)

 

Then, the container volume was doubled and equilibrium was re‑established. How many moles of A remain?

Expert Solution
Introduction

Concentration in terms of molarity is defined as the moles of solute present per litre of the solution. It is usually represented by M and has units of moles/litre. 

Given data: 

Initial moles of sample A are 6.00 moles. 

Initial volume is 1.00 L
