The value of Kc for the reaction 3O2(g)⇌2O3(g) is 2.0×10−50 at 25oC. If the equilibrium concentration of O2 in air at 25oC is 1.6×10−2 M, what is the concentration of O3?

Solution
The equilibrium constant expression is Kc=[O3]2[O2]3 2.0×10−50=[O3]2(1.6×10−2)3 [O3]2=2.0×10−50×(1.6×10−2)3=8.192×10−56 Hence, the equilibrium concentration of ozone is [O3]=2.86×10−28M
