Question

0.15 mol of CO taken in a 2.5 L flask is maintained at 705 K along with a catalyst so that the following reaction takes place CO(g) + 2H2(g) CH3OH(g). Hydrogen is introduced until the total pressure of the system is 8.5 atm at equilibrium and 0.08 mol of methanol is formed. Kp and Kc respectively are:


A

= 0.045 and = 12.438

Solution

The correct option is C

= 0.045 and = 150.85


Initially there was 0.15 mol of CO (g) and at equilibrium 0.08 mol of CH3OH was formed
CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OHMoles at star0.15a0Moles at equb.(0.15x)(a2x)0.08or(0.150.08)(a0.16)0.08
Total moles at equilibrium =(0.150.08)+(a(2×0.08))+0.08=a0.01
We can equate the above to n = number of moles at equilibrium from
n = PVRT P = 8.5 atm, R = 0.0821 atmLK1 mol1, V = 2.5 litre and T = 705 K
n = 0.3676
No of moles of H2 (g) at equilibrium = n - (0.15-0.08) - 0.08 = 0.2176
Now Kc=[CH3OH][H2]2[CO]= 150.8585 mole2litre2
Kp much more straightforward once we figure out Kc.
Kp = Kc(RT)Δn

= 150.85 × (0.0821×705)2 = 0.045atm2
