The dissociation pressure of solid ammonium hydro-sulphide at 27∘C is 60cm. What will be the total pressure when it dissociates at the same temperature in presence of NH3 at a pressure of 45cm? Assume NH4HS dissociates completely into NH3 and H2S.

Solution
NH4(s)⇌NH3(g)+H2S(g)
NH3
H2S

75
Hence, the total pressure after second decomposition will be 75 cm.
