Solution
The equilibrium reaction, the initial number of moles and the equilibrium number of moles are as given below.
KI(aq)+I2(s)⇌KI3(aq) Initial mole 1.326166
Mole at eq. [1.326166−0.105420]0.00250.105420
The volume of solution = 1 litre.
Thus, one mole represents concentrations. The equilibrium constant expression is as given below:
Kc=[KI3][KI]=2.5×10−47.738×10−3=0.032
Hence, the equilibrium constant of the reaction has value of 0.032.
