Question 97

What is the equilibrium expression for the reaction $$P_{4(s)} + 5O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons P_4O_{10(s)}$$?

Solution

Reaction:

$$P_4(s) + 5O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons P_4O_{10}(s)$$

  • Pure solids $$(s)$$ and pure liquids $$(l)$$ have constant activities, so their concentrations are omitted from the equilibrium expression (or treated as $$1$$).
  • Only gases $$(g)$$ and aqueous solutions $$(aq)$$ are included in the expression.
  • $$\left(K_c = \frac{\text{[Products]}}{\text{[Reactants]}}\right)$$:

    $$K_c = \frac{1}{[O_2]^5}$$
