Hello there!
Greetings!
Let us take the initial concentration of B be ss 'x'
Then , according to question, initial concentration of A will be '2x'.
At initial stage ,
A - 2x
B - x
C - 0
D - 0
Now, let 'y' be the change . Then at equilibrium
A - 2x - y B - x - y C - y D - y At equilibrium, concentration of C is thrice the concentration of B. We can represent this as -> y = 3(x - y) y = 3x -3y y = 3x/4
Plugging the values of y in 2x - y, we get equilibrium concentration of A as 5x/4.
For equilibrium concentration of B we get x/4.
Kc = [C] [D] / [A] [B]
Kc = y x y / (2x - y)(x - y)
Kc =( 3x/4 )^2 / 5x/4 x x/4
Kc = 9/5
Kc = 1.8
Thus, required value of Kc is 1.8
