For the reaction aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD at equilibrium, the equilibrium constant Kc is:
- [A][B][C][D]
- [A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ/[C]ᶜ[D]ᵈ
- Kp
- [C]ᶜ[D]ᵈ/[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. [C]ᶜ[D]ᵈ/[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ
Kc = [C]ᶜ[D]ᵈ/[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ where small letters are stoichiometric coefficients and the [] denotes molar concentrations at equilibrium.
