MINI-LABORATORY ACTIVITY
Do what is asked in the task below. Show your complete solution. Encode your answer on the
space/box provided.

For the equilibrium: 2 BrCl(g) ⇌ Br2(g) + Cl2(g)

At 205 °C, the equilibrium constant (Kc) is 0.143. If 1.43 moles of each Br 2(g) and Cl2(g) are placed in a container
which has a volume of 11.0 liters and allowed to reach equilibrium at 205 °C, what would be the concentrations
of BrCl(g), Br2(g) and Cl2(g) at equilibrium?

Reaction: 2 BrCl(g) Br2(g) Cl2(g)

Initial amounts 0 0.13 M 0.13 M
Change in amount +2x -x -x
Equilibrium amount +2x 0.13 -x 0.13 -x

Show your complete solution in solving for equilibrium concentrations of BrCl(g), Br2(g) and Cl2(g).

→ 0.378−2 x=( 0.13−x ) ×1
→ 0.76 x=0.13−x
→ 1.76 x −0.13=0
→ 1.76 x =0.13

→ x=0.074

[ Br C l2 ]=2 x=2 ( 0.074 ) =0.148 M

[ Br2 ]=[ C l2 ]=0.13−x=0.13−0.074=0.056 M
Answer: [ Br C l 2 ]=0.148 M
[ Br2 ]=0.056 M
[ C l2 ]=0.056 M
