QUESTION:
Find and fix each mistake in the equilibrium constant expressions.
ANSWER:
Solution 22EStep 1In general. Chemical equilibrium can be represented asWhere A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products and a. b. c. and d are thestoichiometric coefficients respectively. According to the Law of mass action, rate of forwardreaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction, therefore equilibrium constant (K) can begiven as the ratio of concentration of products raised to the power of its stoichiometriccoefficient to the concentration of reactant raised to the power of its coefficients that is:
