The aqueous reaction between phenol (C6H5OH) and ammonia shown below, has initial concentrations of 0.200 M C6H5OH(aq) and 0.120 M NH3(aq). At equilibrium, the C6H5O–(aq) concentration is 0.050 M. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction. C6H5OH (aq) + NH3(aq) --> C6H5O– + NH4+(aq) Answer is 0.24 - need steps - thanks! Solution Assuming it to be balanced reaction At equilibrium C6H5OH = 0.2 - x NH3 = 0.12 - x C6H5O- = 0.05 = x and NH4 + = x = 0.05 Hence Kc = (0.05 * 0.05)/(0.2 - 0.05)(.12 - 0.05) = 0.238.
