given, P=8.5 atm;V=2.5 L;R=0.0821 atm L mol−1K−1;T=705 K
n=8.5×2.50.0821×705=0.367 mol
CO(g)+2H2(g)⇋CH3OH(g)
Initial mole: 0.15 (nH2)0 0
At equilibrium: 0.15−x,[(nH2)0−2x] x=0.08
Number of moles of CO at equilibrium
=(0.15−0.08)=0.07 mole
Number of moles of H2 at equilibrium
= Total moles− Moles of CO− Moles of CH3OH
=(0.367−0.07−0.08)
=0.217 mole
Applying law of mass action,
Kc=[CH3OH][CO][H2]2=0.082.50.072.5×(0.2172.5)2=151.6 mol−2 L2
Now, Kp=Kc(RT)Δn=151.6×(0.0821×705)−2=0.045 atm−2
(ii) Since [(nH2)0−2x]=0.217
(nH2)0=0.217+2×0.08=0.377 mole
Total moles n0=0.377+0.15=0.527
Hence, p0=n0RTV=12.20 atm
