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.

Solution
The correct option is CKp = 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=P′NH3×P′HCN =0.149×0.149=0.0222atm2
Now the dissociation is made when,PNH3= 0.25 atm NH4CN(s)⇌NH3+HCN
