Question

At a certain temperature, a 17.0-L17.0-L container holds four gases in equilibrium. Their masses are 3.53.5 g SO3SO3, 4.64.6 g SO2SO2, 17.517.5 g N2N2, and 0.980.98 g N2ON2O.

What is the value of the equilibrium constant at this temperature for the reaction of SO2 with N2O to form SO3 and N2? Make sure you balance the reaction using the lowest whole-number coefficients.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The volume of the four gases is = 17.0 L

The mass of SO3 is = 3.5 g

The mass of SO2 is = 4.6 g

The mass of N2 is = 17.5 g

The mass of N2O is = 0.98 g

The value of the equilibrium constant, k =?
