Answer #1

2HOCl -----> H2O + Cl2O , Kc = 0.0900

OR

H2O + Cl2O -----> 2HOCl , Kc' = 1/0.09 = 11.11

0.98 0.98 0 (at t = 0)

0.98-x 0.98-x 2x (at equilibrium)

Kc' = [HOCl]^2 / [H2O][Cl2O]

11.11 = (2x)^2 / (0.98-x)(0.98-x)

11.11 = (2x / 0.98 - x)^2

2x / 0.98 - x = 3.333

2x = 3.266 - 3.333x

5.333x = 3.266

x = 0.6125

At equilibrium;

[HOCl] = 2x = 2*0.6125 = 1.225 M .....Answer
