Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction:CH3Cl(aq)+OH−(aq) → CH3OH(aq)+Cl−(aq)
Question
Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction:CH3Cl(aq)+OH−(aq) → CH3OH(aq)+Cl−(aq)
Solution
The equilibrium constant expression for the given reaction is written as the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants, each raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.
For the reaction: CH3Cl(aq) + OH−(aq) → CH3OH(aq) + Cl−(aq)
The equilibrium constant expression (K) is:
K = [CH3OH][Cl-] / [CH3Cl][OH-]
Each concentration is represented by the chemical formula in brackets ([ ]). The concentration of each product (on the right side of the equation) is in the numerator and each reactant (on the left side of the equation) is in the denominator. Since all the coefficients in this reaction are 1, we don't need to raise any of the concentrations to a power.
