Question

The equilibrium pressure of NH4CN(s)NH3(g)+HCN(g), is 0.298 atm. Value of Kp if NH4CN(s) is allowed to decompose in pressure of NH3 at 0.25 atm is x and partial pressure of HCN at equilibrium is y.
10000(x+y) is

Solution

NH4CN(s)NH3(g)+HCN(g)
Pressure at equilibrium PP
Total pressure at equilibrium, 2P=0.298
P=0.149atm
Kp=PNH3×PHCN
=0.149×0.149=0.0222atm2
If dissociation is made in presence of NH3 at 0.25 atm
NH4CN(s)NH3(g)+HCN(g)
Initial pressure 00.25
Pressure at equilibrium (0.25+P)P
Also, Kp=P(0.25+P)
or 0.0222=P(0.25+P)
P=0.0694atm
