Edexcel A-Level Chemistry A2 13.1 Deduce an Expression for Kc for Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Systems in Terms of Equilibrium Concentrations Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

The equation for the reaction between iron and steam is shown.

3Fe( s)+4H2O( g)⇌Fe3O4( s)+4H2( g)ΔH=−151.2 kJ mol−13 \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{~s})+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}(\mathrm{~s})+4 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \quad \Delta H=-151.2 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}

What is the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction?

A

Kc=[Fe3O4]×[H2]4[Fe]3×[H2O]4K_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right] \times\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]^{4}}{[\mathrm{Fe}]^{3} \times\left[\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right]^{4}}

B

Kc=[Fe3O4]×[H2]4[H2O]4K_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right] \times\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]^{4}}{\left[\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right]^{4}} □

C

Kc=[H2]4[Fe]3×[H2O]4K_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]^{4}}{[\mathrm{Fe}]^{3} \times\left[\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right]^{4}} □

D

Kc=[H2]4[H2O]4K_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]^{4}}{\left[\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right]^{4}}
