Which one of the following Kc expression is correct for given reactionN204⇌2NO2

Correct answer: D. kc=[NO2]2 /[N2O4]

  • A. kc=[N2O4]/[NO2]
  • B. kc=[N2][O4]/[NO2]
  • C. kc=[N2O4]/[NO2]2
  • D. kc=[NO2]2 /[N2O4]

Explanation

The equilibrium constant (Kc) for a chemical reaction relates the concentrations of products and reactants at equilibrium. It represents the ratio of the product of product concentrations raised to their stoichiometric coefficients to the product of reactant concentrations raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.In the given reaction, the stoichiometric coefficients are:N2O4: 1NO2: 2Therefore, the correct Kc expression must reflect these coefficients:Kc = ([NO2]^2) / ([N2O4])

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
