Question

The equilibrium constant for the reaction MgCl2(s) + 1/2O2(g) <--> MgO(s) +Cl2(g) is 2.98 at a certain temperature. What is the equilibriumconstant for the reaction below?    2Cl2(g) + 2MgO(s) <--> 2MgCl2(s)+O2(g) A) 0.113 B) 1.73 C) 0.336 D) 0.579 E) 8.88 The equilibrium constant for the reaction MgCl2(s) + 1/2O2(g) <--> MgO(s) +Cl2(g) is 2.98 at a certain temperature. What is the equilibriumconstant for the reaction below?    2Cl2(g) + 2MgO(s) <--> 2MgCl2(s)+O2(g) A) 0.113 B) 1.73 C) 0.336 D) 0.579 E) 8.88

Explanation / Answer

Since the equation is flipped, you take the inverse of theequilibrium constant. Since the concentration is double, you squarethe constant. 1/2.982 = .113(A)
