Consider the following reaction. N2(g) + O2(g) equilibrium reaction arrow 2 NO(g) If the equilibrium partial pressures of N2, O2, and NO are 0.15 atm, 0.33 atm, and 0.050 atm, respectively, at 2200°C, what is KP?

Explanation:

As the given reaction equation is as follows.

         [tex]N_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g)[/tex]

Hence, expression for [tex]K_{p}[/tex] of this reaction is as follows.

        [tex]K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO}}{P_{N_{2}} \times P_{O_{2}}}[/tex]

Now, putting the given values into the above expression as follows.

         [tex]K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO}}{P_{N_{2}} \times P_{O_{2}}}[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{(0.050)^{2} atm}{(0.15 atm) \times (0.33 atm)}[/tex]  

                 = [tex]5.05 \times 10^{-2}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the value of [tex]K_{p}[/tex] is [tex]5.05 \times 10^{-2}[/tex].
