Question

The equilibrium pressure of NH4CN(s)NH3(g)+HCN(g) is 0.298 atm. Calculate Kp. If NH4CN(s) is allowed to decompose in presence of NH3 at 0.25 atm, calculate partial pressure of HCN at equilibrium.

A
Kp = 0.149 atm2
HCN partial pressure =0.0694 atm

Solution

The correct option is C Kp = 0.0222 atm2
HCN partial pressure =0.0694 atm
NH4CN(s)NH3(g)+HCN(g)
Partial Pressure at equilibrium,
Total pressure at equilibrium = 2P = 0.298 atm P = 0.149 atm
Also, Kp = PNH3×PHCN
=0.149×0.149=0.0222 atm2
Now the dissociation is made when,PNH3= 0.25 atm
NH4CN(s)NH3+HCN

Pressure at equilibrium
Kp=P×(P+0.25)
0.0222=P2+0.25P
P=0.0694 atm
