A sample of HI(g) is placed in a flask at a pressure of 0.2 atm. At equilibrium partial pressure of HI(g) is 0.04 atm. What is Kp for the given equilibrium?
Given reaction is : 2HI(g)⇌H2(g)+I2(g)
Open in App
Solution
Given:- Initial pressure=0.2 atm,
At equilibrium=0.04 atm
∴ Decrease in pressure of HI=0.2−0.04=0.16atm
∴ At equilibrium pressure of H2 & I2=0.162=0.08 atm
