In a study of the thermal decomposition of lithium peroxide,2Li₂O₂(s) ⇄ 2Li₂O(s) + O₂(g)a chemist finds that, as long as some Li₂O₂ is present at the end of the experiment, the amount of O₂ obtained in a given container at a given T is the same. Explain.

Respuesta :

The given reaction of thermal decomposition is

      2Li₂O₂(s) ⇄ 2Li₂O(s) + O₂(g)

The equilibrium constant for the specified reaction will be because the concentrations of solids and pure liquids are not taken into account in the expression of the equilibrium constant:

      K=[O 2 ]

The reaction reaches equilibrium when Li₂O₂ is added at the conclusion of the reaction, ensuring that the amount of O₂ remains constant or unchanged.

What is thermal decomposition?

Thermolysis, also known as thermal decomposition, is a chemical decomposition brought on by heat. The temperature at which a substance decomposes chemically is known as the decomposition temperature of the substance. Since heat is necessary to break the chemical bonds in the substance that is undergoing breakdown, the process is typically endothermic.
