A and B react together in this reversible reaction.
A + 3B ⇌ C + 2D
A mixture of 10 mol of A and 10 mol of B were left to reach equilibrium. The equilibrium mixture contained 4 mol of B.
What is the total amount, in moles, of substances in the equilibrium mixture?
A) 14 B) 16 C) 18 D) 20
If B has 4 moles remaining at eqbm, that means six miles reacted. 1:3 ratio with A and B respectively therefore A only has 6/3 moles that react which = 2, leaving 10-2= 8 moles at eqbm. 2 moles of C formed and 2*2=4 moles of D formed. 8+4+2+4= 18, therefore I think it is C.
