1 Potassium chlorate decomposes to product potassium chloride and oxygen gas. 2KClO3(s) ⇔ 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) When this reaction was run at room temperature, the following equilbrium concentrations were measured: [O2] = 0.0500 M; [KCl] = 0.00250 M; [KClO3] = 2.00 M What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction?

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each term raised to its stochiometric coefficients.

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

At eqm. conc.     (2.00) M       ( 0.00250 ) M   (0.0500) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

By solving we get :

Thus the equilibrium constant for this reaction is

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
