Homework problem 5I.11
Can anyone help me to understand how they got 6.9 as the answer to the first part of the question?

Re: Homework problem 5I.11
For the first part of this question, you are calculating Q which is the concentration of the products over the concentration of the reactants (not at equilibrium). Use the moles of the reactants and products given to you in the question and divide each one by the volume (0.500 L) to obtain a concentration for each reactant and product. Make sure the equation is balanced: 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2SO3 (g). The Q is calculated as follows: Q = [SO3]^2 / ([O2][SO2]^2).

1.20x(0.001) or 10^-3/.500L= SO2
0.50x(0.001) or 10^-3/.500L=O2
0.10x(0.001) or 10^-3/.500=SO3
set up the reaction quotient to calculate Qc (product/reactant)
(0.0002)^2
_________________ = 6.94
(.001) x (.0024)^2
since this value is more than the provided Kc, more product (SO3)will form shifting to the right

Re: Homework problem 5I.11
In order to get Qc, you have to us [products]/[reactants. However, in this problem, you have to change mmol to mol, and put that value of moles over 0.5 L to find M, or Molarity. Once you use these conversions, [SO3]^2/[SO2]^2[O2] should give you Qc=6.9.
