The partial pressures of the gases when at equilibrium are found to be: A: 6.70 atm, B: 10.1 atm, C: 3.60 atm. Evaluate Kp for this reaction. 2A(g) B(g) --> C(g)

Respuesta :

Answer : The value of equilibrium constant (Kp) is, [tex]7.94\times 10^{-3}[/tex]

Explanation :  Given,

Partial pressure of A at equilibrium = 6.70 atm

Partial pressure of B at equilibrium = 10.1 atm

Partial pressure of C at equilibrium = 3.60 atm

The given chemical reaction is:

[tex]2A(g)+B(g)\rightarrow C(g)[/tex]

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

[tex]K_p=\frac{(p_{C})}{(p_{A})^2\times (p_{B})}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

[tex]K_p=\frac{(3.60)}{(6.70)^2\times (10.1)}[/tex]

[tex]K_p=7.94\times 10^{-3}[/tex]

Thus, the value of equilibrium constant (Kp) is, [tex]7.94\times 10^{-3}[/tex]
