Question

please help with 21!! The equilibrium constant is 4.31 x 10 4 at 375 degree C: N2(g)*3H2(g) 2NH3(g) In a certain experiment, a chemist starts with 0.862atm N? and 0.373 atm H2 in a reaction vessel at 375 degree C. Calculate the total pressure in the reaction vessel at equilibrium. Nz(g) + 3H2(g) 2N H3(g) 0.8 2 atm Kp = 4.31 times 10 = [2x) 0 -x -3x -2x [0.842 - x] [373-3x] 0.8 2-x 373-3x 2x x = o2121 Total A student decomposes potassium chlorate and collects 36.5 cm3 of oxygen gas over water at 23.0 degree C. The laboratory manometer roads 751 torr. The vapor pressure o water at 23.0 C is 21.1 torr. Find the volume the dry oxygen would occupy at 0 degree C and 1.000 atm. How many grams of potassium chlorate were present before the reaction?

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

Balanced reaction equation

N2(g)    +      3H2(g) --------------- > 2 NH3(g)

Kp = 4.31*10^-4

Initial partial pressure of N2 = 0.862 atm and H2 = 0.373 atm

Total pressure at equilibrium = ?

Lets first make ICE table and calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of the each gas

N2(g)    +      3H2(g) --------------- > 2 NH3(g)

0.862               0.373                             0

-x                      -3x                                +2x

0.862-x          0.373-3x                        2x

Lets write the kp equation

Kp = [NH3]^2 /[N2][H2]^3

Lets put the values in the formula

4.31*10^-4 = [2x]^2/[0.862-x][0.373-3x]^3

4.31*1.^-4 * [0.862-x][0.373-3x]^3 = 4x^2

Solving this equation we get

X= 0.002136

Therefore now lets calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of the each gas

[N2]eq = 0.862 atm – x = 0.862 atm – 0.002136 atm = 0.8598 atm

[H2] eq = 0.373 atm – 3x = 0.373 atm – (3*0.002136 atm ) = 0.3666 atm

[NH3]eq = 2x = 2*0.002136 atm = 0.004272 atm

Total pressure = pN2 + pH2 +pNH3

                           = 0.8598 atm + 0.3666 atm + 0.004272 atm

                           = 1.23 atm
