Explanation of Solution

The required reaction is given below.

  Cl2(g)2Cl(g),Kc=1.7×105

The expression for equilibrium constant for the above reaction can be written as shown below,

  Kc=[Cl]2[Cl2]

Given that, 5.0mmolCl2(g) was sealed into a reaction vessel of volume 2.0L.  The concentration of Cl2(g) can be calculated as given below.

  [Cl2]=molesvolume=5×103mol2.00L=0.0025M

An equilibrium table can be set up as given below.

  Composition(M)Cl2ClInitialconcentration0.00250Changeinconcentrationx+2xEquilibriumconcentration0.0025x2x

Now, these values in the fourth row can be inserted in the equilibrium constant expression as shown below.

  Kc=(2x)2(0.0025x)

By assuming x0.0025, it can be written that 0.0025x0.0025.

Now, the above equilibrium expression can be solved for x.

  Kc=(2x)2(0.0025x)1.7×105=4x2(0.0025)x2=1.7×105×0.00254x=1.03×10-4[Cl2]=0.0025M[Cl]=2x=2×1.03×10-4=2.06×10-4M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentrations of Cl2andCl in a reaction vessel are 0.0025Mand2.06×10-4M respectively.

Explanation of Solution

The required reaction is given below.

  Br2(g)2Br(g),Kc=1.7×105

The expression for equilibrium constant for the above reaction can be written as shown below,

  Kc=[Br]2[Br2]

Given that, 5.0molBr2(g) was sealed into a reaction vessel of volume 2.0L.  The concentration of Br2(g) can be calculated as given below.

  [Br2]=molesvolume=5mol2.00L=2.5M

An equilibrium table can be set up as given below.

  Composition(M)Br2BrInitialconcentration2.50Changeinconcentrationx+2xEquilibriumconcentration2.5x2x

Now, these values in the fourth row can be inserted in the equilibrium constant expression as shown below.

  Kc=(2x)2(2.5x)

By assuming x2.5, it can be written that 2.5x2.5.

Now, the above equilibrium expression can be solved for x.

  Kc=(2x)2(2.5x)1.7×105=4x2(2.5)x2=1.7×105×2.54x=2.30×10-3[Br2]=2.5M[Br]=2x=2×2.30×10-3=4.6×10-3M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentrations of Br2andBr in a reaction vessel are 2.5Mand4.6×10-3M respectively.

Explanation of Solution

The percentage of dissociation of F2andBr2 can be calculated as given below.

  ForCl2:%ofdissociation=dissociatedamountoriginalamount×100%ofdissociation=1.03×1040.0025×100%ofdissociation=4.12%ForBr2:%ofdissociation=2.30×1032.5×100%ofdissociation=0.092%

The percentage of dissociation of Br2 into its atoms is almost negligible than that of Cl2.  Therefore, Br2 is thermodynamically more stable relative to its atoms at 1200K.
