3A (g) ⇆ B (g) + C (g) + D (g), K_c for the following reactions is 27. If number of moles of B at equilibrium are 3 then calculate number of initial moles of A taken in the container ?

     Let  N moles of A be present initially in the container of fixed volume V litres.  3 moles of B , C and D each are produced at the equilibrium.

    To produce 3 moles of B, nine moles of A are consumed, as 3 moles of A are needed for 1 mole of B.  Also 3 moles each of D & C are produced. N-9 moles of A remain.

  Total number of moles of gases at the equilibrium is N-9+3+3+3 = N+8.

     3 A (g)     ↔     B (g) +    C (g)  +     D (g) 
   N-9 moles        3 moles    3 moles     3 moles 

 [ B ] = 3/V = [ C ] = [ D ]         and      [ A ] = (N-9)/V

  Kc = 27 = [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] / [ A ]³
               = 3³ / (N-9)³

Solving that we get N = 10.   Answer.
