• Solve 4 types of problems involving equilibrium constants.
1. Plug and solve
*Always make sure the equation is balanced, FIRST*
At 225°C, a 2.0 L container holds 0.040 moles of N2, 0.15 moles of H2 and 0.50 moles of NH3. If the system is at equilibrium, calculate KC.
1. Change all into concentrations - mol/L
2. Write the equilibrium law for the reaction
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g)
0.040 mol N2
2.0 L= 0.020 M N2
= 0.075 M H2
= 0.25 M NH3
3. Substitute the concentrations and calculate K.(Note: no units for K)
The equilibrium concentrations of N2 and NO are 1.40 mol/L and 5.20 mol/L respectively. Calculate the KC.
According to Eq stoichiometry – the same amount of O2 will be produced as N2.

Kc =
[N2][O2] [NO]2
Kc =
[1.40][1.40] [5.20]2
= 0.0725
At 210°C, the Kc is 64.0 The equilibrium concentrations of N2 and O2 are 0.40 mol/L and 0.60 mol/L, respectively. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of NO.
1. Write out the Eq Law.
2. Rearrange for [NO].
N2(g) + O2(g) 2 NO(g)
3. Substitute concentrations then solve.
At 10.0°C, the Kc is 215.0 The equilibrium concentrations of SO2 is 9.40 mol/L. Calculate the [S] and [O2] at equilibrium.
SO2(g) S(g) + O2(g)
Values should be the same amount for S and O2 – assign the unknown “x”
x M9.40 M x M
Kc =
[S][O2] [SO2]

[x][x] = 215 [9.40]

Initially 2.0 mol of SO2, 1.0 mol of O2 are mixed in a 3.0 L reaction container. At equilibrium, 0.20 mol of O2 are found to remain. Calculate the Kc.

Get rid of the square by taking the square root of both sides.
Substitute known values.
Isolate, and solve for x.
