Question

for the rxn NH2COONH4(s) = 2 NH3(g) + CO2(g) the equi constant Kp= 5 * 10-4 atm3 the tottal pressure of the gaseous product when 1 mole of reactant is heated will be :( 0.15 atm )

Solution

Make the ICE table for reaction:

NH2COONH4(s)2 NH3(g)CO2(g)
Initial pressureconc. of 1 mole00
Final pressure1-x2xx

Let us write the expression for Kp.As ammonium carbamate is a solid, it does not appear in the expression for Kp

Kp = (pNH3(g)2CO2(g) = (2x)2(x) = 4x3

Given Kp = 5 x 10- 4atm3

∴5 x 10- 4 = 4x3

X = 0.05atm

Total pressure at equilibrium = 2x + x = 2*0.05 + 0.5 = 0.15atm
