Question

At certain temperature(T) for the gas phase reaction: 2H2O(g)+2Cl2(g)4HCl(g)+O2(g), Kp=12×108 atm. If Cl2, HCI & O2 are mixed in such a manner that the partial pressure of each is 2 atm and the mixture is brought into contact with excess of liquid water. What would be approximate partial pressure of Cl2 when equilibrium is attained at temperature(T)?

Solution

The correct option is C 3.6×103 atm
Assume the vapour pressure of water as 2.99×102atm.

2H2O0.02990.0299(g)+2Cl2222x(g)4HCl(g)22+4x+O2(g)22+x,

The expression for the equilibrium constant is KP=PO2P4HClP2H2OP2Cl2.

Substitute values in the above expression

KP=(2+x)(2+4x)4(0.0299)2(22x)2=12×108

Hence x=0.998 and PCl2=22x=3.6×103.
