*never mind, figured it out*
What is the concentration of O2(g) in equilibrium with 0.50 mol/liter of SO3(g) if the equilibrium constant at certain fixed temperature is 500 liter/mol?
2 SO2(g) + O2(g) <-> 2 SO3(g)
--> why is setting up the equilibrium constant (especially products) is incorrect:
500 (mol/l) = [(2(.5))^2] / [(2x^2)(x)]
how come in the solution, the [SO3] is not mulplied by the coefficient 2 and then squared like the [S02] in the denominator?
solution:
500 (mol/l) = [(.5)^2] / [(2x^2)(x)]
any get what im saying?
