Iodine is sparingly soluble in water but much more so in carbon tetrachloride
is
Interpretation:
The fraction of iodine remaining in the aqueous solution under two conditions is to be calculated and their results are to be compared.
Concept introduction:
Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of reactants and products present in the chemical reaction.
For a general reaction:
The general formula for writing equilibrium expression for the reaction is given as:
Here,
A and B are reactants, C is products, and
The ratio between the number of moles of a substance and the total number of moles of a solution is called mole fraction.
Moles of a substance can be calculated by:
