Chemistry Question on Equilibrium Constant
At 1000K, the equilibrium constant. KC for the reaction 2NOCl(g)⇌2NO(g)+Cl2(g) is 4.0×10−6molL−1. The KP (in bar) at the same temperature is (R=0.083L bar K−1mol−1)
A
3.32×10−6
B
3.32×104
C
3.32×10−4
D
3.32×10−3
Answer
3.32×10−4
Explanation
Solution
Given, KC=4×10−6mol/L
2NOCl(g)⇌2NO(g)+Cl2(g)
Δn= product mole − reactant mole
=3−2=1
From Kp equation
Kp=KC×(RT)Δn
=4×10−6mol/L
×(0.0831L bar k−1mol−1×1000K)2
Kp=3.32×10−4 bar
