If the decomposition reaction 4HNO2(g)⇌4NO2(g)+2H2O(g)+O2(g) is started with where (P) is the total pressure at equilibrium and (P′) is the partial pressure of O2. Derive relationship for Kp is terms of (P) and (P′).

Solution
Total pressure at equilibrium=P0−4P′+4P′+2P′+P′ =P0+3P′ ⇒P0+3P′=P (given in question)⟶1 KP=(P′)(2P′)2(4P′)4(P0−4P′) =P′×4P′2×256P′4P−3P′−4P′ KP=(1024)P′7P−7P′
