NO and Br2 at initial partial pressure of 98.4 and 41.3 torr, respectively were allowed to react at 300K. At equilibrium the total pressure was 110.5 torr. Calculate the value of KP for the following reaction at 300K.
2NO(g)+Br2(g)⇌2NOBr(g)
17.4
The givan reaction is,
2NO(g)+Br2(g)⇋2NOBr(g)Intial no. of moles98.4 41.30No. of moles at Eqb(98.4−x) (41.3−x2)x
Total pressure at equilibrium = 110.5 torr.
(98.4−x)+(41.3x2)+x=110.5
x=58.4 torr (760 torr=1 atm)
P(NOBr)=58.4 torr=7.68×10−2atm
P(NO)=98.4−58.4=40 torr=5.26×10−2atm
P(Br2)=41.3−58.42=12.1 torr
=1.59×10−2atm
KP=P2(NOBr)P2(NO)×PBr2
=(7.68×10−2)2(5.26×10−2)2(1.59×10−2)=17.47
