Answer:
The reaction given is:
In (g) + H₂ (g) ⇔ InH₂ (g), the Kp is 1.48 at 973 K.
The partial pressures measured in the reaction vessel is Partial pressure of In is 0.0540 atm, partial pressure of H₂ is 0.0250 atm, and the partial pressure of InH₂ is 0.0780 atm. By using the table given in the attachment below, the value of PInH₂ is (0.078-x), PIn is (0.054 + x), and the value of PH2 is (0.025 + x).
Kp = PInH₂/PIn × PH₂ = (0.078 - x) / (0.054 +x) (0.025 + x)
1.48 = (0.078 - x) / (0.054 +x) (0.025 + x)
x = 0.06689
Now the partial pressures of In, H₂ and InH₂ will be,
PH₂ = 0.025 + x = 0.025 + 0.0668 = 0.0918 atm
PIn = 0.054 + 0.0668 = 0.1208 atm
PInH₂ = 0.078 - 0.0668 = 0.0112 atm
Now the Qp or the reaction quotient will be,
Qp = (0.078) / (0.054) (0.025) = 57.78.
