Answer:
[ICl] = 0.0420 M
[I₂] = [Cl₂] = 0.0140 M
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the initial concentration of ICl
[ICl] = 0.350 mol / 5.00 L = 0.0700 M
Step 2: Make an ICE chart
2 ICl(g) ⇄ I₂(g) + Cl₂(g)
I 0.0700 0 0
C -2x +x +x
E 0.0700-2x x x
The concentration equilibrium constant (Kc) is:
Kc = 0.110 = [I₂] [Cl₂] / [ICl]² = x² / (0.0700-2x)² = (x/0.0700-2x)²
0.332 = x/0.0700-2x
x = 0.0140
The concentrations at equilbrium are:
[ICl] = 0.0700-2x = 0.0700-0.0280 = 0.0420 M
[I₂] = [Cl₂] = x = 0.0140 M
