Question

A vessel of 250 litre was filled with 0.01 mole of Sb2S3 and 0.01 mole of H2 to attain the equilibrium at 440oC as :
Sb2S3(s)+3H2(g)2Sb(s)+3H2S(g)

After equilibrium, the H2S formed was analysed by dissolved it in water and treating with excess of Pb2+ to give 1.19g of PbS as precipitate. What is the value of Kc at 440oC.

Solution

The correct option is A 1
The molar mass of PbS is 239.3 g/mol.

1.19 g of PbS correspond to 1.19239.3=0.00497 moles of Pbs.

This is also equal to the number of moles of H2S
Sb2S3(s)+3H2(g)2Sb(s)+3H2S(g)
0.01 - 3x 3x

The total number of moles of H2S at equilibrium is
3x=0.00497
x=0.001657

The equilibrium number of moles of hydrogen are
0.013x=0.013(0.001657)=0.005027

The equilibrium constant expression is Kc=[H2S]3[H2]3
Kc=(0.004973250)3(0.0052027250)31
