Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

For the equilibrium reaction 2A ⇌ B + C with Kc = 4.0, if A starts at 0.400 M, find the equilibrium concentrations of A, B, and C.

💡 Hint: Rearranging and solving this quadratic will lead to values for x.

Challenge 2 Hard

A given equilibrium reaction has an equilibrium constant Kc of 0.045. If you start with 0.200 M of each reactant, what are the equilibrium concentrations?

💡 Hint: Remember to consider the ranges of K values affecting directionality.
