Hydrogen peroxide may decompose to form water and oxygen according to the equation below. In a particular experiment, 1.75 moles of H2O2 were placed in a 2.5-L vessel at 307oC. After equilibrium, 1.20 moles of H2O2 remained. What is Kc?

Kc = 0.0231

Explanation:

2H₂O₂(g) <> 2H₂O(g) + O₂(g)

Before the reaction,

Conc of H₂O₂ = 1.75/2.5 = 0.7M

Conc of H₂O = 0M

Conc of O₂ = 0M

At equilibrium

Conc of H₂O₂ remaining = 1.2/2.5 = 0.48M

Conc of H₂0

We will obtain this from the stoichiometric balance

2 moles of H₂O₂ gives 2 moles of H₂O

(1.75 - 1.2) moles of H₂O₂ had reacted at equilibrium and will give 0.55 moles of H₂O

Conc of H₂O at equilibrium = 0.55/2.5 = 0.22M

Conc of O₂ at equilibrium = (0.55/2)/2.5 = 0.11M (the 0.55/2 is from the stoichiometric balance)

Kc = [H₂0]²[O₂]/[H₂O₂]²

Kc = [0.22]²[0.11]/[0.48]² = 0.0231 (L/mol) or (/M)

Hope this Helps!!!

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
