The equilibrium constant of the reaction A2(g)+B2(g)⇌2AB(g) at 100∘C is 50.
If one litre flask containing one mole of A2 is connected to a two litre flask containing two moles of B2 the number of moles of AB formed at 373 K will be -
1.886
The equilibrium is represented as:
A2(g)+B2(g)⇌2AB(g)
Initial connection
1 2 0
moles at equilibrium
1-x 2-x 2x
Total volume = 1 + 2 = 3 litres
[A2]=1−x3,[B2]=2−x3[AB]=2x3
K=[AB]2[A2][B2]=(2X3)(1−x3)(2−x3)=50
On solving we get 23x2−75x+50=0
x = 2.31 or 0.943, since x can't be more than 1
so, x = 0.943
moles of AB formed =2×0.943=1.886
