Answer:
K = [Na2CO3] [H2O] [CO2] / [NaHCO3]²
Explanation:
2NaHCO3(s)⇋Na2CO3 (s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)
To write an expression for equilibrium constant, K, for the above reaction, it is important that we have an idea of what equilibrium constant is all about and how we can determine it.
Equilibrium constant for a reaction is simply defined as the ratio of the concentration of the product raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactant raised to their coefficient.
Thus the expression for the equilibrium constant for the above equation can be written as follow:
K = [Na2CO3] [H2O] [CO2] / [NaHCO3]²
