Question

Two gases A and B in the molar ratio 1 : 2 were admitted to any empty vessel and allowed to reach equilibrium at 400oC and 8 atm pressure as : A+2B 2C. The mole fraction of C at equilibrium is 0.16. Calculate:
(a) Kr for the reaction,
(b) The pressure at which mole fraction of A in equilibrium mixture is 0.16.

Solution

Moles A+2B2C Total moles
at t=0 x 2x -
at Eqbm xa 2x2a 2a 3xa
Mole fraction of C=2a3xa=0.16
1.84a=0.48x or 3xa=12.5a(1)
KP=[Xc]2[Xo]2[XA]2[PT]Δng
KP=[0.16]2[XB]2[xA][PT]Δng
XA+XB=1XC=0.84
XA+XB=(xa)+(2x2a)=3x3a=(3xa)2a
12.5a2a (from equation 1)
XA+XB=10.5a=0.84
a=0.08
x=1.08×a0.481.84×0.080.48=0.306
Thus, XA=xa3xa=0.3060.0812.5×0.08=0.227
XB=0.840.227=0.613
KP=[0.16]2[0.613]2[0.227](8atm)1=0.0374
