Question

Ammonium hydrogen sulphide dissociates according to the equations:
NH4HS(s)NH3(g)+H2S(g)
If the observed pressure at equilibrium is 1.12atm at 380K, what is the equilibrium constant Kp of the reaction?

Solution

NH4HS(s)NH3(g)+H2S(g)
Total pressure is 1.12 atm. One half of this is equal to partial pressure of ammonia. It is also equal to partial pressure of hydrogen sulphide.
pNH3=pH2S=12×1.12=0.560atm
Kp=pNH3×pH2S=0.560×0.560=0.314
The equilibrium constant is 0.314.
