Question

Thermal decomposition of gaseous X2 to gaseous X at 298 K takes place according to the following equation:
X2(g)2X(g)
The standard reaction Gibbs energy, ΔGo, of this reaction is positive. At the start of the reaction, there is one mole of X2 and no X. As the reaction proceeds, the number of moles of X formed is given by β, Thus, βequilibrium is the number of moles of X formed at equilibrium. The reaction is carried out at a constant total pressure of 2 bar. Consider the gases to behave ideally.
(Given: R = 0.083 L bar K1mol1)

The equilibrium constant Kp for this reaction at 298 K, in terms of βequilibrium, is
