When solid (NH4)(NH2CO2) is introduced into an evacuated flask at 25 ∘C, the total pressure of gas at equilibrium is 0.116 atm. What is the value of Kp at 25 ∘C? Kp =

Respuesta :

Answer : The value of [tex]K_p[/tex] is, [tex]2.32\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

Explanation :

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex](NH_4)(NH_2CO_2)(s)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)+CO_2(g)[/tex]

The expression of [tex]K_p[/tex] for above reaction follows:

[tex]K_p=(P_{NH_3})^2\times P_{CO_2}[/tex]        ........(1)

                      [tex](NH_4)(NH_2CO_2)(s)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)+CO_2(g)[/tex]

Initial:                                                      0               0

At eqm:                                                   2x              x

As we are given that:

Total pressure of gas at equilibrium = 0.116 atm

2x + x = 0.116 atm

3x = 0.116 atm

x = 0.0387 atm

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

[tex]K_p=(2x)^2\times (x)[/tex]

[tex]K_p=(2\times 0.0387)^2\times (0.0387)[/tex]

[tex]K_p=2.32\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]K_p[/tex] is, [tex]2.32\times 10^{-4}[/tex]
