Consider the reaction. mc032-1.jpg At equilibrium, the concentrations of the different species are as follows. [H2O] = 0.077 M [Cl2O] = 0.077 M [HClO] = 0.023 M What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction at this temperature?

0.089
0.26
3.9
11

Keq = products / reagents:

2 HClO = H₂O + Cl₂O

Keq = [ H₂O ] x [ Cl₂O ] / [ HClO ]₂

keq = 0.077 x 0.077 / [0.023]²

keq = 0.005929 / 0.000529

keq = 11

Answer D

hope this helps!
