For the reaction below, Kc = 0.534 at 700 degrees Celsius. A mixture of 0.250 moles of CO and 0.450 moles of H20 are heated to 700 degrees Celsius in a 10.0 L container. Calculate the concentrations of all four species when equilibirium is reached.

H2 + CO2 ---> H20 + CO

okay plz check my answer and do it and see if you get the same if you can. Also I think the significat figs are right...but not sure

first I got the Molarity of CO - .250 moles/10L = .025M and
H20 .450 moles/10L = .045 M

next I did the ICE method to come up with the problem (.025-x)(.045-x)/x^2=0.534

I work this out to get it equal to 0 and it looks like:
.466x^2-.070x+.0011=0

should be be .001125?

I use the solve function on my calculator, And this gives me x=.018 so, if everything is correct then the concentrations should be:

CO = .025-.0183 = .007
H20 = .045-.0183 = .027
H2 =.018
CO2 = .018

How does this look? Just want to know that im doing this right...Im not sure if x should be .018 or .0183 Thanks!

Im pretty sure everything is right, but there might be a couple of sigs wrong, .0183 for x would be more correct if I go back and plug it in for x the answer is more correct, but im not sure I should use it or not. And someone said I should use .001125 instead of .0011, Im not so sure cuz .045 x .025 = 2 sigs so the answer should be to 2 sigs which would be .0011 right?

The value 0.018 has two significnat digits; the value 0.0183 has three. (Zeros leading a number don't count as significant.)

Don't round off any values while doing a calculation until you get to a final answer. You need at least three sig digs in each value in your quadratic : 0.466x^2 - 0.0700 x + 0.001125

When I solved the quadratic, I got x = 0.0183 (3 sig digs).

You can always check your values - put your equilibrium concentration values into the Keq expression - it will work out to the Keq value if your concentrations are correct.

the reality that she is a doxie and he or she snapped at you whilst she is often friendly, makes me suspicious of a lower back harm. Are the vendors away, or do you in simple terms walk them in the course of the day? in case you will get in touch with the vendors on the instant, call them and ask approximately getting the dogs to the vet's top away. this could be a severe, painful concern for the dogs. call the vendors now!
