in state of equilibrium?
2s0,8)+OW 250,
Given: 0.6 M; [OJ 0.82 M; and [sO) =
1.90 M
[SOJ- =

Answer
250,(g)+O,(g) 2S0,8)

Iso, = (1.9M)x (1.9 M)

so,fo,} (0.6 M) (0.6 M)* (0.82M)

Question3.
Ata certain temperature and total pressure of10 Pa, iodine vapours contain 40% by volume
of iodine atoms in the equilibrium 1,(g) 2 1 (g). Calculate K, for the equilibrium.

Answer
According to available data:
Total pressure of equilibrium mixture 10 Pa
40
Partial pressure of iodine atoms () = (10 Pa) = 0.4 x 10 Pa

Partial pressure of iodine molecules (1) = 60

100Xx (10° Pa) = 0.6 x 10 Pa

21 (8)
(0.4 x 10 Pa)
(0.6 10 Pa)

-
= 04x10 Pa)? 267 x 10 Pa
P (0.6 x 10 Pa)
