Practice question
Question
For A(g) + B(g) <=> 2C(g) , Kp = 4 at 300 K. If the total pressure at equilibrium is 3 atm and PA = PB , what is PC ?
Explanation
Let PA = PB = x , PC = 3 - 2x . Kp = ((PC)²/PA PB) = ((3 - 2x)²/x²) = 4 , (3 - 2x/x) = 2 , 3 - 2x = 2x , 3 = 4x , x = 0.75 , PC = 3 - 2 × 0.75 = 1.5 atm .
