2 H2S(g) ⇄ 2 H2(g) + S2(g) Kc = 9.3× 10-8 at 400ºC 0.47 moles of H2S are placed in a 3.0 L container and the system is allowed to reach equilibrium. Calculate the concentration of H2 at equilibrium.

The concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial moles of hydrogen sulfide gas = 0.47 moles

Volume of the container = 3.0 L

The molarity of solution is calculated by using the equation:

So,

The given chemical equation follows:

Initial:                  0.1567

At eqllm:           0.1567-2x       2x         x

The expression of for above equation follows:

We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

So, equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas =

Hence, the concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
