Interpretation:
To write an equilibrium expression for given equilibrium reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Equilibrium reaction:
A
Or
Equilibrium expression:
It denotes the ratio of product and reactants in concentration term that is expressed by K (equilibrium constant).
Consider an equilibrium reaction:
Here, a, b, c and d are coefficient.
So, the equilibrium expression for above reaction would be.

What happens to the equilibrium after the solution becomes saturated with oxygen?arrow_forwardConsider the following hypothetical reactions. The equilibrium constants K given for each reaction are defined in terms of a concentration unit of molecules per liter. A(g)B(g)K=2X(g)2Y(g)K=62C(g)D(g)K=1 Assume that the reactions have reached equilibrium. Match each of these reactions with one of the containers I to IV (each of which has a volume of 1 L). Identify the color of each molecule (for example, is A red or blue?).arrow_forwardK=4.9x10-3 for the reaction CO2(g)+H2(g)⇄ CO(g)+H2O(g).
