The equilibrium constant (K_C ) for the following equilibrium 2 SO ₂(g)+ O ₂(g) 2 SO ₃(g) at 563 ~K is 100 . At equilibrium, the number of moles of SO ₃ in the 10 litre flask is twice the number of moles of SO ₂ , then the number of moles of oxygen is
Options
- A0.4
- B0.3
- C0.2
- D0.1
Correct answer
A. 0.4
Step-by-step solution
Let, number of moles of SO ₂=x moles of SO ₃=2 x2 SO ₂(g)+ O ₂(g) 2 SO ₃(g) At equilibrium, aligned K_c & = [ SO ₃ ]^2 [ SO ₂ ]^2 [ O ₂ ] 100 & = [ 2 x 10 ]^2 [ x 10 ]^2 [ n_ O ₂ 10 ] 100 & = 40 n_ O ₂ n_ O ₂ = 40 100 =0.4 aligned Hence, number of moles of oxygen =0.4
