Answer: [tex]K_c=\frac{[CH_3Cl]\times [OH^-]}{[CH_3OH]\times [Cl^-]}[/tex]
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each term raised to its stochiometric coefficients. Pure solids are assumed to have a concentration of 1.
The given balanced equilibrium reaction is:
[tex]CH_3OH(aq)+Cl^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons CH_3Cl(aq)+OH^-(aq)[/tex]
The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,
[tex]K_c=\frac{[CH_3Cl]\times [OH^-]}{[CH_3OH]\times [Cl^-]}[/tex]
Thus the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction is [tex]K_c=\frac{[CH_3Cl]\times [OH^-]}{[CH_3OH]\times [Cl^-]}[/tex]
