This is an easy question but i am getting a different answer to that in the solutions, so just thought I would ask:
A 2.00 mol sample of nitrosyl bromide, NOBr, was introduced into a 5.0 L vessel. At equilibrium, the concetration of nitrosyl bromide was found to be .0750 M. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction shown in the equation:
2NOBr(g) (equilibrium Arrow) 2NO(g) + Br2 (g)
What I already did was to work out the equation to go ((1.625 ^2) x (.8125)) / (.375^2) which gives me 15.26, but the answer is 3 something. so just wondering if somebody can help me out with what i have done wrong. this question was part of a worksheet our teacher gave us as a preparation for the upcoming sac. So yeah Thanks to anybody who can help.

kk,
n(NOBr)in equilibrium= cxv=0.075x5=0.375
n(NO)produced=n(NOBr)consumed=n(NOBr)initial-n(NOBr)in equilibrium=2-0.375=1.625
n(Brs)produced=1/2n(NO)produced=0.8125
c(NOBr)=0.075, c(NO)=1.625/5=0.325,C(Br2)=0.8125/5=0.1625
0.325^2 x 0.1625 / 0.075^2 gives 3.05 =]

Omg i forgot to divide the number of mole of NOBr by volume to get concentration of .075 for the last step. thanks for your help Monokekie

alright another q from the same worksheet.
Water undergoes self ionistion according to the following equation.
2H20 (l) (eq. arrow) H30+ (l) + OH- (aq) delta h > 0
The pH of pure wter at 10 degress is
A. less than 7
B. greater than 7
C. Equal to 7
D. Greater thanor less than 7 depending upon the source of the water
If someone could explain why one answer is the right one, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The pH of water at 25 degrees is 7.
As the temp decreases the back reaction is preferred. [As it releases heat]
Now that means less products are formed. Less
is formed. Hence the pH increases [getting more basic] Hence it is B
