Write the expression for the equilibrium constant for the following generic chemical equation.
Solution:
The expression for the equilibrium constant for the following generic chemical equation is,
The equilibrium constant is denoted as Kc
Kc = [C]c[D]d / [A]a[B]b
where:
[A], [B], [C], [D] etc. are the molar concentrations of A, B, C, D (molarity)
a, b, c, d, etc. are the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation (the numbers in front of the molecules)
