Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a reaction where A ⇌ 2B with a Kc = 50 at a certain temperature. If initial [A] = 0.1 M and [B] = 0 M, calculate the equilibrium concentrations.
💡 Hint: An algebraic rearrangement may be needed.
Describe how Le Châtelier’s principle would apply if we increased the concentration of product C in the reaction A + B ⇌ C.
💡 Hint: Think about what happens when reactants or products are added.
