Question

At 113 oC the equilibrium constant for the reaction:

2 HBr(g)  H2(g) + Br2(g)

is KP = 1.81e-12. If the initial pressure of HBr is 0.00631 atm, what are the equilibrium partial pressures of HBr, H2, and Br2?



p(HBr) =  


p(H2) =  


p(Br2) =  

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given ,

Kp= 1.81× 10-12

Initial pressure of (PHBr) =0.00631 atm

Given reaction, 

2HBr <========> H2 + Br2

Kfor given reaction is ,

              KP = [H2][Br2]/ [HBr]2  ---------(i)
