Question

Starting with one mole of $O_{2}$ and two moles of $S O_{2}$ , the equilibrium for the formation of $S O_{3}$ was established at a certain temperature. If $V$ is the volume of the vessel and $2 x$ is the number of moles of $S O_{3}$ present, the equilibrium constant will be:

Solution

$2 S O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 S O_{3} (g)$
At $t = 0 : -$ $\frac{1}{V}$ $\frac{2}{V}$ $0$
At equilibrium:- $(\frac{1}{V} - 2 x)$ $(\frac{2}{V} - x)$ $2 x$
Now, $K_{C} = \frac{2 x}{(\frac{1}{V} - 2 x) (\frac{2}{V} - x)} = \frac{2 x}{(1 - 2 x V) (2 - x V)}$
Therefore, the equilibrium constant will be $\frac{2 x}{(1 - 2 x V) (2 - x V)}$ .
