Question

A 20 litre container at 400 K contains CO2(g) at pressure 0.4 atm and an excess of SrO (neglect the volume of solid SrO). The volume of the container is now decreased by moving the movable piston fitted in the container. The maximum volume of the container, when pressure of CO2 attains its maximum value, will be:
(Given that : SrCO3(s)SrO(s)+CO2(g), Kp=1.6 atm)

Solution

The correct option is B 5 litre
The initial pressure PCO2=0.4atm
The final pressure PCO2=Kp=1.6atm
The initial volume V=20L
The final volume V=PVP=0.4atm×20L1.6atm=5L
Hence, the maximum volume the container when the pressure of CO2 attains its maximum value will be 5 litres.
