Areaction a(aq)+b(aq)↽−−⇀c(aq) has a standard free‑energy change of −4.20 kj/mol at 25 °c. what are the concentrations of a, b, and c at equilibrium if, at the beginning of the reaction, their concentrations are 0.30 m, 0.40 m, and 0 m, respectively?

Answer : The concentration of at equilibrium are 0.132 M, 0.232 M  and 0.168 M  respectively.

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is,

First we have to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard free‑energy is:

where,

= standard free‑energy change = -4.20 kJ/mole

R = universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

k = equilibrium constant = ?

T = temperature =

Now put all the given values in the above relation, we get:

Now we have to calculate the concentrations of A, B, and C at equilibrium.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

Initially               0.30      0.40         0  

At equilibrium  (0.30-x) (0.40-x)     x

The expression of equilibrium constant will be,

By solving the term x, we get

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 0.716 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 0.716 is not consider.

The value of x will be, 0.168 M

The concentration of at equilibrium = (0.30-x) = 0.30 - 0.168 = 0.132 M

The concentration of at equilibrium = (0.40-x) = 0.40 - 0.168 = 0.232 M

The concentration of at equilibrium = x = 0.168 M

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
