Question

All a snowbound skier had to cat were walnuts! He was carrying a bag holding 12 dozen nuts. With his mittened hands, he cracked open the shells. Each nut that was opened resulted in one kernel and two shell halves. When he tired of the cracking and got ready to do some eating, he discovered he had 194 total pieces (whole nuts, shell halves, and kernels). What is the Keq K_{\text {eq }} for this reaction?

In this task, we need to calculate KeqK_{eq}.

For the reaction:

aA+bBcC+dD\text{aA}+\text{bB} \rightleftharpoons \text{cC} +\text{dD}

the Keq_{eq} is:

Keq=[C]c[D]d[Bb][A]aK_{eq}=\dfrac{[\text{C}]^c[\text{D}]^d}{[\text{B}^b][\text{A}]^a}

The equilibrium constant is equal to the product of the concentration of the products raised to the potency of its stoichiometric factor divided by the product of the concentration of the reactants raised to the potency of its stoichiometric factor.
