Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows the following chemical equation:
To write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction, we follow this general rule:
[ K_c = \frac{\text{[Products]}}{\text{[Reactants]}} ]
Each concentration term is raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient.
For this reaction, the equilibrium constant expression is:
[ K_c = \frac{[\text{H}^+]^2 [\text{CO}_3^{2-}]}{[\text{H}_2\text{CO}_3]} ]

Here are five related questions for practice:
- What does a high equilibrium constant indicate about the position of equilibrium?
- How do you find the equilibrium concentrations of products and reactants experimentally?
- What is the relationship between and , the equilibrium constant for partial pressures?
- How does temperature affect the value of ?
- What are the units of for this reaction?
Tip:
Always pay attention to the physical states (solid, liquid, gas, aqueous) when writing equilibrium expressions, as solids and pure liquids are not included in the expression.
