Correct answer: 125

  1. Write the balanced equilibrium

2 NOCl(g)⇌2 NO(g)+Cl2(g)2\,NOCl(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\,NO(g) + Cl_2(g)2NOCl(g)⇌2NO(g)+Cl2​(g)

  1. Initial concentrations

Since 2.02.02.0 moles of NOClNOClNOCl are placed in a 111 L flask,

[NOCl]0=2.0 M[NOCl]_0 = 2.0\,\text{M}[NOCl]0​=2.0M

Initially, no products are present:

[NO]0=0,[Cl2]0=0[NO]_0 = 0, \qquad [Cl_2]_0 = 0[NO]0​=0,[Cl2​]0​=0

  1. Use the equilibrium information

Given:

[NO]eq=0.4 M[NO]_{eq} = 0.4\,\text{M}[NO]eq​=0.4M

From the stoichiometry

2 NOCl→2 NO+Cl22\,NOCl \rightarrow 2\,NO + Cl_22NOCl→2NO+Cl2​

The change in NONONO is +0.4+0.4+0.4 M, so the change in NOClNOClNOCl is −0.4-0.4−0.4 M, and the change in Cl2Cl_2Cl2​ is +0.2+0.2+0.2 M.

Thus,

[NOCl]eq=2.0−0.4=1.6 M[NOCl]_{eq} = 2.0 - 0.4 = 1.6\,\text{M}[NOCl]eq​=2.0−0.4=1.6M [NO]eq=0.4 M[NO]_{eq} = 0.4\,\text{M}[NO]eq​=0.4M [Cl2]eq=0.2 M[Cl_2]_{eq} = 0.2\,\text{M}[Cl2​]eq​=0.2M

  1. Expression for equilibrium constant

For the reaction,

Kc=[NO]2[Cl2][NOCl]2K_c = \frac{[NO]^2[Cl_2]}{[NOCl]^2}Kc​=[NOCl]2[NO]2[Cl2​]​

Substitute the equilibrium concentrations:

Kc=(0.4)2(0.2)(1.6)2K_c = \frac{(0.4)^2(0.2)}{(1.6)^2}Kc​=(1.6)2(0.4)2(0.2)​

  1. Calculate

(0.4)2=0.16(0.4)^2 = 0.16(0.4)2=0.16 0.16×0.2=0.0320.16 \times 0.2 = 0.0320.16×0.2=0.032 (1.6)2=2.56(1.6)^2 = 2.56(1.6)2=2.56

So,

Kc=0.0322.56=0.0125K_c = \frac{0.032}{2.56} = 0.0125Kc​=2.560.032​=0.0125

Now write in the form ___×10−4\_\_\_ \times 10^{-4}___×10−4:

0.0125=125×10−40.0125 = 125 \times 10^{-4}0.0125=125×10−4

  1. Final integer answer

125\boxed{125}125​
