Concept Introduction:
Equilibrium constant: At equilibrium the ratio of products to reactants (each raised to the power corresponding to its
For a general reaction,
The solids and pure liquids are not involved in equilibrium constant expression.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Antimony pentachloride decomposes according to the below equation.
The initial concentrations of all the reactant and products are,
The concentration of
Calculation of equilibrium concentrations:
Consider ‘x’ moles of
