Read the reaction and the statement. 2X(g) + Y2(g) ⇌ 2XY(s)

The equilibrium constant for the chemical reaction is found to be 20 at 150 K.

If the concentration of X is 4.0 × 10-2 M, what is the concentration of the Y2 gas?

5.50 M

40.0 M

31.25 M

8.0 M

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
