Question
The equilibrium constant at $$298 K$$ for a reaction $$A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$$ is 100. If the initial concentration of all the four species were $$1 M$$ each, then equilibrium concentration of $$D\left( {{\text{in}}\,{\text{mol}}\,{L^{ - 1}}} \right)$$ will be :
A.
1.818
B.
1.182
C.
0.182
D.
0.818
Answer :
1.818
Solution :
\[\begin{align}
& \text{Given,} \\
& \begin{matrix}
{} & A & + \\
\text{No}\text{. of moles initially} & 1 & {} \\
\text{At equilibrium} & 1-a & {} \\
\end{matrix}\,\,\,\begin{matrix}
B & \rightleftharpoons & C \\
1 & {} & 1 \\
1-a & {} & 1+a \\
\end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix}
+ \\
{} \\
{} \\
\end{matrix}\,\,\,\,\,\,\begin{matrix}
D \\
1 \\
1+a \\
\end{matrix} \\
\end{align}\]
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,\,{K_c} = {\left( {\frac{{1 + a}}{{1 - a}}} \right)^2} = 100 \cr
& \therefore \,\,\frac{{1 + a}}{{1 - a}} = 10 \cr
& {\text{On solving}} \cr
& a = 0.81 \cr
& {\left[ D \right]_{{\text{At}}\,{\text{eq}}}} = 1 + a = 1 + 0.81 = 1.81 \cr} $$
