Equilibrium constant is K=3.4*10^90 for the reaction: 2K+Cl2 <--> 2KCl Is Cl2 concentration very large or very small at equilibrium?

OpenStudy (somy):

what do u think? any idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really have no idea where to begin, I have several questions like this one that I have to answer though. @Somy

OpenStudy (somy):

hmmm 2K+Cl2 <--> 2KCl what is Kc formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhh. maybe [K+]^2[Cl-]/[K+]^2[Cl2-]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or am I completely lost

OpenStudy (somy):

wrond

OpenStudy (somy):

\[Kc = \frac{ product }{ reactant }\] \[Kc = \frac{ [KCl]^2 }{ [K]^2 [Cl_2] }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok would this be high? since ^90 and it would be far to the right… @Somy

OpenStudy (somy):

Kc is pretty a lot so u can assume that KCl's concentration is pretty high

OpenStudy (somy):

to get such big number that would mean that K and Cl's product concentrations should be a pretty less K is to the power of 2 so it must be pretty bigger the Cl so i would expect Cl's concentration to be Less/ small

OpenStudy (somy):

i think, im not really sure tbh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Somy ok thanks. So if I have K = 0.274*10^42 for the reaction: C2H2+2H2<-->C2H6 Would C2H6 also be small or would this be large since I think the products are favored.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't want to get confused

OpenStudy (somy):

by product of concentrations i meant K and Cl not KCl

OpenStudy (somy):

C2H6 i think would be larger
