Answer:
0.169
Explanation:
Let's consider the following reaction.
A(g) + 2B(g) ⇄ C(g) + D(g)
We can find the pressures at equilibrium using an ICE chart.
A(g) + 2 B(g) ⇄ C(g) + D(g)
I 1.00 1.00 0 0
C -x -2x +x +x
E 1.00-x 1.00-2x x x
The pressure at equilibrium of C is 0.211 atm, so x = 0.211.
The pressures at equilibrium are:
pA = 1.00-x = 1.00-0.211 = 0.789 atm
pB = 1.00-2x = 1.00-2(0.211) = 0.578 atm
pC = x = 0.211 atm
pD = x = 0.211 atm
The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is:
Kp = pC × pD / pA × pB²
Kp = 0.211 × 0.211 / 0.789 × 0.578²
Kp = 0.169
