How to calculate Kc if not given temperature?

OpenStudy (lena772):

\[K _{c}=\frac{ K _{p}}{(RT)^{\Delta \eta}}\]

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

what information do you have? do you have the partial pressures of all the components at the equilibrium or the total pressure and the molar rates?

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

do you have the reaction or they said is a STP condition?

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

the delt n is =0?

OpenStudy (lena772):

Calculate the Kc of the reaction below assuming all reactant and product concentrations are 2.00 M at equilibrium. Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) ⇌ AgCl (s) I think delta N is 0, that's what I got

OpenStudy (cuanchi):

you dont have any gas

OpenStudy (lena772):

no @cuanchi

OpenStudy (aaronq):

you dont need that equation. you have to do this.. For a general chemical equation: \(\sf aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC\) The equilibrium expression is: \(\sf K_c=\dfrac{[Products]}{[Reactants]}=\dfrac{[C]^c}{[A]^a[B]^b}\) Where the brackets (\(\sf [ ~]\)) mean concentration (Molarity).

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Woot. using that `/sf` @aaronq :)

OpenStudy (photon336):

I think another important fact is that the reaction has already reached equilibrium so I think you can just plug in all the values moles for both reactants and products they give you once you set up Kc as @aaronq said.

OpenStudy (lena772):

Concentration of (s) = 1 so, 1/(((2)^1)(2)^1))= 1/4 = 0.25 ?

OpenStudy (lena772):

@Photon336 @aaronq

OpenStudy (lena772):

@mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

If the question is about temperature, then I would calculate according to the standard formula (or see @arronq 's post) and state that Kc applies to the temperature at which the experiment was performed.
