Question

Gaseous IBr is placed in a closed container at 1815 oC, where it partially decomposes to I2 and Br2:

2 IBr(g)  1 I2(g) + 1 Br2(g)

At equilibrium it is found that p(IBr) = 0.007150 atm, p(I2) = 0.009790 atm, and p(Br2) = 0.003780 atm. What is the value of KP at this temperature?



KP = ________ .
