please explain how you are doing this multiplication.thanks

Answer 1

Given

SO2Cl2(g) ==> SO2(g) + Cl2(g)

At 738 K

2.97*10^-3 M SO2Cl2,

1.80*10^-2 M SO2,

2.99*10^-2 M Cl2

the above given values are equilibrium concentrations of products and reactants.

we know that

Equilibrium constant = (equilibrium concentrations of products)/ (equilibrium concentrations of reactants)

So

Equilibrium constant (K) = [SO2][ Cl2]/[ SO2Cl2]

= (1.80*10^-2 * 2.99*10^-2)/( 2.97*10^-3)

= (5.382*10^-4)/( 2.97*10^-3 )

= 0.181
