Consider the following equilibrium:

4Fe(s) + 3 O2(g) <-- --> 2Fe2O3(s);

Which of the following equations is wrong?

Kp=Kc(RT)-5

Kp= Kc(RT)-3

Kp = PO2-3

Kc=[O2]-3

Respuesta :

l think the answer is kc=:02:-3

Answer : The wrong equation is, [tex]K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{-5}[/tex]

Explanation :

The given equilibrium reaction is,

[tex]4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)[/tex]

The expression for equilibrium constant in terms of concentration,

[tex]K_c=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}\\\\K_c=[O_2]^{-3}[/tex]

The expression for equilibrium constant in terms of pressure,

[tex]K_p=\frac{1}{(P_{O_2})^3}\\\\K_p=(P_{O_2})^{-3}[/tex]

The relation between the equilibrium constant in terms of concentration and equilibrium constant in terms of pressure will be,

[tex]K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n_g}[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta n_g[/tex]= number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants

R = gas constant

T= temperature

For reaction the given reaction,

[tex]\Delta n_g[/tex]= number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants= 0 - 3 = -3

[tex]K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{-3}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct equations for equilibrium are, [tex]K_c=[O_2]^{-3}[/tex], [tex]K_p=(P_{O_2})^{-3}[/tex] and [tex]K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{-3}[/tex]
