  • Calculating Keq for the Reaction 2NOCl(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Cl₂(g)
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the Balanced Chemical Equation

    The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

    2 NOCl(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + Cl₂(g)

    2. Write the Equilibrium Expression

    The equilibrium constant (K_eq) expression is:

    K_eq = ([NO]²[Cl₂]) / [NOCl]²

    3. Substitute the Equilibrium Concentrations

    We are given:

    * [NO] = 0.02 M

    * [Cl₂] = 0.01 M

    * [NOCl] = 0.04 M (Assuming you meant 0.04 M, not 0.h M)

    Substitute these values into the K_eq expression:

    K_eq = (0.02² * 0.01) / 0.04²

    4. Calculate the Value of K_eq

    K_eq = (0.000004) / 0.0016 = 0.0025

    Therefore, the value of K_eq for this reaction under the given conditions is 0.0025.
