Explanation:

Given that:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

Br2(g) ⇌ 2Br(g)

Initially 0.0345M 0.0416M

$Q_C = \dfrac{[Br]^2}{[Br_2]} = \dfrac{(0.0416)^2}{(0.0345)}= 0.05016$

Q_C =0.05016 K_c(0.00584)

Thus, the given reaction will proceed in the backward direction

The I.C.E table is as follows:

Br2(g) ⇌ 2Br(g)

I 0.0345 0.0416

C +x -2x

E (0.0345+x) (0.0416 -2x)

$K_c = \dfrac{[Br]^2}{[Br_2]} = \dfrac{(0.0416-2x)^2}{(0.0345+x)} = 0.00584$

= 0.00173056 - 0.0832x - 0.0832x + 4x² = 0.00584 (0.0345 +x)

= 0.00173056 - 0.166x + 4x² = 2.0148× 10⁻⁴ + 0.00584x

= 0.00173056 - 2.0148× 10⁻⁴ - 0.166x - 0.00584x + 4x²

= 0.00152908 - 0.17184x + 4x²

Solving by using Quadratic formula

x = 0.03038 or 0.0126

For x = 0.03038

At equilibrium

[Br₂] = (0.0345 + 0.03038) = 0.06488 M

[Br] = (0.0416 -2(0.03038)) = - 0.01916 M

Since we have a negative value for [Br], we discard the value for x

For x = 0.0126

At equilibrium

[Br₂] = (0.0345 + 0.0126) = 0.0471 M

[Br] = (0.0416 -2(0.0126)) = 0.0164 M

Answer from: Quest

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
