The equilibrium constant is given for one of the reactions b
The equilibrium constant is given for one of the reactions below. Determine the value of the missing equilibrium constant.
H2(g) + Br2(g) 2 HBr(g) Kc = 3.8 × 10^4
2 HBr(g) H2(g) + Br2(g) Kc = ?
A) 1.9 × 10^4
B) 5.3 × 10^-5
C) 2.6 × 10^-5
D) 6.4 × 10^-4
E) 1.6 × 10^3
please explain everything
Solution
H2(g) + Br2(g) <----------> 2HBr(g) Kc = 3.8 x 104
if we reverse the reaction
2HBr(g) <----------> H2(g) + Br2(g) Kc1 = 1/Kc
Kc1 = 1/ 3.8 x 104
Kc1 = 2.6 x 10-5
answer = option C = 2.6 x 10-5
