Solution

The correct option is A 4
NH2COONH4(s)2NH3(g)+CO2(g)
At equilibrium, when volume and temperature are constant, the number of moles of a gas is proportional to its partial pressure.
Therefore:
2 moles of NH3 have partial pressure = 2p
1 mole of CO2 has partial pressure = p
Total partial pressure = 2p + p = 3p = 3 atm (given)
3p = 3
p = 1 atm

Kp=p2NH3×pCO2pNH2COONH4

Kp=(2p)2×(p)p

Kp=4p3p

Kp=4p2=4(1)2=4
