Question

in the equilibrium mixture ${C a C O}_{3}$ --------CaO+ ${C O}_{2}$ pressure of ${C O}_{2}$ at 27 degree is 2 atm what will be the pressure of ${C O}_{2}$ when 2 moles of ${C O}_{2}$ are added into equilibrium mixture

Solution

$T h e r e a c t i o n i s$
${C a C O}_{3} (s) \leftrightarrow C a O (s) + C O_{2} (g)$
$S i n c e {C a C O}_{3} a n d C a O b o t h a r e s o l i d s h e n c e K_{p} i s d e t e r m i n e d b y C O_{2} o n l y .$
$T h e r e f o r e K_{p} = p (C O_{2})$
$H e n c e w e k n o w t h a t a t e q u i l i b r i u m K_{p} = 2 a t m$
$W e t h a t t h a t a c c o r d i n g t o L e c h a t e l i e r^{'} s p r i n c i p l e w h e n 2 m o l e s o f c a r b o n d i o x i d e a r e a d d e d (t h e c o n c e n t r a t i o n o f p r o d u c t i s i n c r e a s e s) t h e t h e r e a c t i o n m o v e s i n b a c k w a r d d i r e c t i o n i n o r d e r t o f o r m m o r e r e a c t a n t s b u t a s t h e p r e s s u r e o f c a r b o n d i o x i d e b e c o m e s 2 a t m, t h e r e a c t i o n w o u l d h a v e r e a c h e d e q u i l i b r i u m .$
