What value in an equilibrium reaction does K have if the other values for the reaction HC2H3O2 ⇌ H+ + C2H3O2- are [A-] = 0.10 M and [HC2H3O2] = 0.25 M?

A) 0.01
B) 0.04
C) 0.03
D) 0.25

Equilibrium Reaction

A chemical reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, resulting in no net change in the concentration of reactants and products.

K

The symbol for potassium, a soft, silvery-white metallic element that is essential for living cells and important in many industrial processes.

  • Understand the concept of equilibrium constant (K) and its calculation for various reactions.
  • Demonstrate the ability to calculate the concentration of reactants or products at equilibrium given the value of K.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The equilibrium constant KKK for the reaction is calculated using the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. Given that the stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1:1, K=[AS−][CSO4−][H2CSO4]K = \frac{[AS^-][CSO_4^-]}{[H_2CSO_4]}K=[H2CSO4][AS][CSO4] . Substituting the given concentrations, K=(0.10)(0.10)0.25=0.04K = \frac{(0.10)(0.10)}{0.25} = 0.04K=0.25(0.10)(0.10)=0.04 .
