Answer to Problem 29LC
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is used for writing the powers of the reactant and product in the expression of equilibrium constant thus, in this way a balanced chemical equation is used to write an equilibrium constant expression.
Explanation of Solution
The ratio of the concentration of the products to the concentration of the reactants raised to some power is termed an equilibrium constant.
For example, taking a reaction for the formation of dinitrogen tetroxide via a reaction of two molecules of nitrogen oxide. The chemical equation for the same is given as;
Now, the equilibrium constant expression for the above reaction is given as;
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is used for writing the powers of the reactant and product in the expression of equilibrium constant thus, in this way a balanced chemical equation is used to write an equilibrium constant expression.
