Question

A 10 litre box contains O3 and O2 at equilibrium at 2000 K. Kp=4×1014 atm for 2O3(g)3O2(g). Assume that PO2>>PO3 and if total pressure is 8 atm, then partial pressure of O3 will be:

A

Solution

The correct option is B 11.3×107 atm
According to question:
The total pressure is 8atm.
PO2+PO3=8atm
But it is given that PO2>>PO3
PO2=8atm since pressure of O3 is negligible compared to O2

Now, kp=(PO2)3(PO3)2

4×1014=(8)3(PO3)2

PO3=8×8×84×1014

PO3=11.313×107
Hence option B is correct.
