At a certain temperature, 3.67 mol SO 2 and 1.83 mol O 2 are placed in a container. 2 SO 2 ( g ) + O 2 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 SO 3 ( g ) At equilibrium, there is 1.92 mol SO 3 present. Determine the number of moles of SO 2 and O 2 that are present when the reaction is at equilibrium.

Answer : The number of moles of and at equilibrium is, 1.75 mol and 0.87 mol respectively.

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

Initial mol.       3.67         1.83          0

At eqm.        (3.67-2x)   (1.83-x)       2x

As we are given:

Number of moles of at equilibrium = 1.92

That means,

2x = 1.92

x = 0.96 mol

Number of moles of at equilibrium = (3.67-2x) = [3.67-2(0.96)] = 1.75 mol

Number of moles of at equilibrium = (1.83-x) = (1.83-0.96) = 0.87 mol

Thus, the number of moles of and at equilibrium is, 1.75 mol and 0.87 mol respectively.

hi,

the answer is d, it has indefinite shape but definite volume.

hope this !
