Consider the following reaction:
NH4HS(s)_NH3(g)+H2S(g)
An equilibrium mixture of this reaction at a certain temperature was found to have [NH3]= 0.272M and [H2S]= 0.365M .

What is the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc) at this temperature?

Respuesta :

Answer : The equilibrium constant is, [tex]9.928\times 10^{-2}[/tex]

Solution : Given,

Equilibrium concentration of [tex]NH_3[/tex] = 0.272 M

Equilibrium concentration of [tex]H_2S[/tex] = 0.365 M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

[tex]NH_4HS(s)\rightleftharpoons NH_3(g)+H_2S(g)[/tex]

The expression for equilibrium constant will be,

[tex]K_c=\frac{[NH_3][H_2S]}{[NH_4HS]}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get  value of equilibrium constant.

[tex]K_c=\frac{(0.272)\times (0.365)}{1}[/tex]

[tex]K_c=0.09928=9.928\times 10^{-2}[/tex]

Therefore, the equilibrium constant is, [tex]9.928\times 10^{-2}[/tex]
