Answer:

The reaction mixture will contain [A] = 0.1 M and [B] = 1.0 M

Explanation:

The reaction is:

  • A(g) → B(g)

And the equilibium constant can be expressed in terms of [A] and [B]:

  • Keq = 10 = [B]/[A]

If the initial conditions are that [A] = 1.1 M and [B] = 0.0 M, the conditions at equilibrium will be:

  • [A] = 1.1M - x
  • [B] = 0.0M + x

Now we rewrite Keq:

  • Keq = 10 = [0.0 +x] / [1.1 -x]

Finally we solve for x:

  • 10 = [0.0 +x] / [1.1 -x]
  • 10 * (1.1-x) = x
  • 11 - 10x = x
  • 11 = 11x
  • x = 1

So at equilibrium, the concentrations are:

  • [A] = 1.1 M - 1 = 0.1 M
  • [B] = 0.0 M + 1 = 1.0 M

The statement that is true at equilibrium is:

a. The reaction mixture will contain [A] = 0.1 M and [B] = 1.0 M

Chemical reaction:

A(g) ⇄ B(g)

Given:

[tex]K_{eq} = 10 =\frac{[B]}{[A]}[/tex]

                           [A]                [B]

Initially:               1.1M - x      0.0M + x

Thus, equilibrium constant can be rewritten as:

[tex]K_{eq} = 10 =\frac{ [0.0 +x] }{[1.1 -x]}[/tex]

On solving for x:

[tex]10 = \frac{[0.0 +x] }{ [1.1 -x]}\\\\10 * (1.1-x) = x\\\\11 - 10x = x\\\\11 = 11x\\\\x = 1[/tex]

So at equilibrium, the concentrations are:

[A] = 1.1 M - 1 = 0.1 M

[B] = 0.0 M + 1 = 1.0 M

Thus, the correct option is a.
