Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium - Result Question 49

####49. The equilibrium constant Kp of the reaction,

2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)

is 900atm at 800K. A mixture containing SO3 and O2 having initial pressure of 1 and 2atm respectively is heated at constant volume to equilibrate. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas at 800K.

Solution:

2SO2(g)+O2(g)SO3(g)  Initial pi:021  Equilibrium pi:2p2+p12p

Kp=900=(12p)2(2+p)(2p)2[ Ignoring p in comparison to 2] 

p=187 atm 

Partial pressure of SO2=2p=287 atm

 Partial pressure of O2=2+p=2+187=17587atm

Partial pressure of SO3=12p=12(187)=8587atm
