Answer:


[A]_(eq)=0.854M

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the chemical reaction at equilibrium:


A+B\rightleftharpoons C+D

The equilibrium expression is:


K=([C][D])/([A][B])=1.8

Which in terms of the ICE methodology can be written as:


1.8=(x*x)/((2.00M-x)(2.00M-x))

Solving for
x, we obtain:


x=1.15M

It means that the concentration of A once equilibrium is reached turns out:


[A]_(eq)=2.00M-1.15M=0.854M

Best regards.
