Question

The equilibrium constant, K, for the following reaction is 10.5 at 350 K.

An equilibrium mixture of the three gases in a 1.00 L flask at 350 K  contains  5.32E-2 M  CH2Cl2,   0.172 M CH4 and 0.172 M CCl4.   What will be the concentrations of the three gases once equilibrium has been reestablished, if 0.142 mol of CH4(g) is added to the flask?

[CH2Cl2] = M [CH4] = M [CCl4] = M The equilibrium constant, K, for the following reaction is 10.5 at 350 K. An equilibrium mixture of the three gases in a 1.00 L flask at 350 K contains 5.32E-2 M CH2Cl2, 0.172 M CH4 and 0.172 M CCl4. What will be the concentrations of the three gases once equilibrium has been reestablished, if 0.142 mol of CH4(g) is added to the flask?

Explanation / Answer

K=[CCl4][CH4]/[CH2Cl2]^2

or 10.5=(0.172+0.142+x)*(0.172+x)/(5.32*10^-2-2x)^2

or x=-0.008 M

so [CH2Cl2]=0.0692 M

[CH4]=0.306 M

[CCl4]=0.164 M
