Calculate Kp for each of the following equilibria:(a) H₂(g) + CO₂(g) ⇄ H₂O(g) + CO(g); Kc = 0.77 at 1020K

Respuesta :

Kp = 0.77 in the equilibria H₂(g) + CO₂(g) ⇄ H₂O(g) + CO(g); Kc = 0.77 at 1020K

Explanation

We know that Kp = [tex]Kc(RT)^{\Delta n}[/tex]

Lets find Δn

Δn = [tex]n_{gas}[/tex] on the product side - [tex]n_{gas}[/tex] on the reactants side

      = (1 + 1) - (1 + 1)        

      = 0

So, now we have

Kc = 0.77

R = 0.08206  L.atm/K.mol

T = 1020K

Δn = 0

So Substituting the value in Kp = [tex]Kc(RT)^{\Delta n}[/tex] we get

Kp = 0.77(0.08206 × 1020K)⁰

Kp = 0.77(1)

Kp = 0.77

What is Kp?

Kp is an equilibrium constant depending on partial pressure. The ratio of reactants to products in a reaction at equilibrium is disclosed.

A few Kp characteristics are:

  • Kp is a partial pressure-based equilibrium constant. It provides information on the ratio of reactants to products in a reaction at equilibrium.
  • While the value of Kp is unaffected by changes in concentration or pressure, the equilibrium does shift as a result.
  • The position and Kp value of a gaseous equilibrium change when the equilibrium's temperature shifts.
  • The presence of a catalyst has no impact on the value of Kp or the location of the equilibrium.
  • Kp and Kc are very comparable. Kc uses molar concentrations while Kp here uses partial pressures.
