Reaction Rates and Equilibrium

The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction BrF_5(g) —> Br_2(g) + F_2(g) is

• Kc = [Br₂] [F₂] / [BrF_5]

• Kc = [BrF₅]² / [Br₂][F₂]⁵

• Kc = [Br₂] [F₂]⁵ / [BrF₅]²

• Kc = 2[BrF₅]² / ([Br₂] × 5[F₂]⁵)

• Kc = [Br₂] [F₂]² / [BrF₅]⁵

The equilibrium between carbon dioxide gas and carbonic acid is very important in biology and environmental science. CO_2(g) + H₂O_(l) —> H₂CO3(aq) Which one of the following is the correct equilibrium constant expression (Kc) for this reaction?

• Kc= 1/ [H₂CO₃]

• Kc= [CO₂]/ [H₂CO₃]

• Kc= [H₂CO₃] / [CO₂]

• Kc= [CO₂] [H₂O] / [H₂CO₃]

• Kc= [H₂CO₃] / [CO₂] [H₂O]

Calculate Kc for the reaction HI_(g) —> H_2(g) + I_2(g) given that the concentrations of each species at equilibrium are as follows: [HI] = 0.85 mol/L, [I₂] = 0.60 mol/L, [H₂] = 0.27mol/L.
