Question

Two gases A and B in the molar ratio 1:2 were admitted to any empty vessel and allowed to reach equilibrium at 400 oC and 8 atm pressure as A+2B2C. The mole fraction of C at equilibrium is 0.4. Calculate KP (atm1) for the reaction.

Open in App
Solution

A + 2B 2Ca 2aax 2a2x 2x
Total moles at equilibrium 3a-x
Mole fraction of C =2x3ax=0.4
2x=1.2a0.4x
x=1.2a2.4
x=a2
Now,
A + 2B 2Ca2 a a
Total moles=5a2
PA=a25a2×8=85 atmPB=a5a2×8=165 atmPC=a5a2×8=165 atmKP=(Pc)2(PB)2PA=58KP=0.625 atm1
