Calculating Kc for an equilibrium reaction
C) Moles of the rest of the reactants and products at equilibrium:
-
Once you know one of the moles at equilibrium, you can calculate how many moles of that one has reacted.
-
You can then use the molar ratios in the chemical equation to calculate the remaining amounts of moles reacted and moles at equilibrium:
Start by transferring your numbers to the table below:
