Solution

The correct option is A 4.57atm
I2 dissociates as
I22I

If x is the degree of dissociation at 1000oC under atmospheric pressure, then

Initial concentration: [I2]=1,I=0

At equilibrium I2=1x,I=2x

The total number of moles at equilibrium =1x+2x=1+x

Partial pressure of I2 and I will be

PI2=(1x)p/(1+x)

PI=(2x)p/(1+x)

Kp=P2I/PI2=(2x)2p2(1+x)(1x)p(1+x)2=(2x)2p(1x2)

If p=1 atm and x=0.4

Kp=4×0.16(0.6)(1.4)=0.76

At x=0.2 let pressure p

Kp=(2x)2p(1x2)0.76=(4×0.04)p(0.8)(1.2)
p=4.57atm
