Chapter 6, Problem 6.13NP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of K_p should be determined for the given conditions.

Concept Introduction :

When gases involve in a reaction, partial pressures are used instead of concentrations in the equilibrium expression.

  $\begin{array}{l}A(g)+B(g)\to C(c)+D(d)\\ K_p=\frac{P_C^c\times P_D^d}{P_A^a\times P_B^b}\end{array}$

Here, P is partial pressure for respective components at equilibrium.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of CO₂ at equilibrium if the vessel contains 0.120 bar H₂O at the final temperature, should be calculated.
